TOMORROW’S
CENTERPOINT ENERGY’S 8,200-MILE PIPELINE NETWORK
IS LOCATED IN AND NEAR PROLIFIC NEW NATURAL GAS
SHALE PRODUCTION AREAS AS WELL AS TRADITIONAL
BASINS IN THE MID-CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.
WITH A REPUTATION FOR OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND
EXECUTION, WE HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE LEADING
TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS FOR MOVING NATURAL
GAS TO MARKET.
• Natural gas is increasingly viewed as a long-
term solution for reducing carbon emissions.
As a result, we expect the construction of
new natural gas-fired power plants and the
conversion of existing generation to natural
gas to continue.
• Our pipeline network is well-positioned to benefit
from industrial growth on or near our system.
• As production grows from unconventional shale
plays, including those in Haynesville, Woodford
and Fayetteville, we are prepared to expand our
pipelines to meet new demand.
• CenterPoint Energy’s Perryville Hub continues
to grow in prominence and handles approximately
four times the volume and capacity of Henry Hub.
Visit CenterPointEnergy.com/annualreports/2009 for more discussion on the growing unconventional shale
production, including an interview with C. Gregory Harper, senior vice president and group president,
Pipelines and Field Services.
