HPL System
• Capacity of 5.3 Bcf/d
• Approximately 3,900 miles of natural gas pipeline
• Bammel storage facility with 62 Bcf of total working gas capacity
The HPL System is an extensive network of intrastate natural gas pipelines, an underground Bammel storage reservoir and related
transportation assets. The system has access to multiple sources of historically significant natural gas supply reserves from South
Texas, the Gulf Coast of Texas, East Texas and the western Gulf of Mexico, and is directly connected to major gas distribution,
electric and industrial load centers in Houston, Corpus Christi, Texas City and other cities located along the Gulf Coast of Texas.
The HPL System is well situated to gather and transport gas in many of the major gas producing areas in Texas including the
strong presence in the key Houston Ship Channel and Katy Hub markets, allowing us to play an important role in the Texas natural
gas markets. The HPL System also offers its shippers off-system opportunities due to its numerous interconnections with other
pipeline systems, its direct access to multiple market hubs at Katy, the Houston Ship Channel and Agua Dulce, and our Bammel
storage facility.
The Bammel storage facility has a total working gas capacity of approximately 62 Bcf, a peak withdrawal rate of 1.3 Bcf/d and a
peak injection rate of 0.6 Bcf/d. The Bammel storage facility is located near the Houston Ship Channel market area and the Katy
Hub and is ideally suited to provide a physical backup for on-system and off-system customers. As of December 31, 2012, we
had approximately 12.4 Bcf committed under fee-based arrangements with third parties and approximately 45.7 Bcf stored in the
facility for our own account.
East Texas Pipeline
• Capacity of 2.4 Bcf/d
• Approximately 370 miles of natural gas pipeline
The East Texas pipeline connects three treating facilities, one of which we own, with our Southeast Texas System. The East Texas
pipeline was the first phase of a multi-phased project that increased service to producers in East and North Central Texas and
provided access to the Katy Hub. The East Texas pipeline expansions include the 36-inch East Texas extension to connect our
Reed compressor station in Freestone County to our Grimes County compressor station, the 36-inch Katy expansion connecting
Grimes to the Katy Hub, and the 42-inch Southeast Bossier pipeline connecting our Cleburne to Carthage pipeline to the HPL
System. Key shippers on the East Texas pipeline include XTO and EnCana with an average of approximately 680,000 MMBtu/d
and 260,000 MMBtu/d, respectively.
Interstate Transportation Pipelines
The following details our pipelines in the interstate transportation and storage segment.
Florida Gas Transmission Pipeline
• Capacity of 3.1 Bcf/d
• Approximately 5,400 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline
• FGT is owned by Citrus, a 50/50 joint venture with Kinder Morgan, Inc. ("KMI")
The Florida Gas Transmission pipeline is an open-access interstate pipeline system with a mainline capacity of 3.1 Bcf/d and
approximately 5,400 miles of pipelines extending from south Texas through the Gulf Coast region of the United States to south
Florida. The Florida Gas Transmission pipeline system receives natural gas from various onshore and offshore natural gas producing
basins. FGT is the principal transporter of natural gas to the Florida energy market, delivering over 64% of the natural gas consumed
in the state. In addition, Florida Gas Transmission's pipeline system operates and maintains over 70 interconnects with major
interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines, which provide FGT's customers access to diverse natural gas producing regions.
FGT's customers include electric utilities, independent power producers, industrials and local distribution companies.
Transwestern Pipeline
• Capacity of 2.0 Bcf/d
• Approximately 2,560 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline
• Bi-directional capabilities
The Transwestern pipeline is an open-access interstate natural gas pipeline extending from the gas producing regions of West
Texas, eastern and northwestern New Mexico, and southern Colorado primarily to pipeline interconnects off the east end of its
