EXPANSION PROJECTS 

Pipeline Expansion  

Storage Expansion 

Unconventional gas is the engine behind Boardwalk's growth.  Boardwalk is in the process of building approximately 1,000 miles of pipe to reach new supplies of unconventional gas from the Barnett Shale, the Bossier Sands, the Haynesville Shale, the Caney/Woodford Shale, and the Fayetteville Shale.  In doing so, Boardwalk will almost double the amount of gas carried by its system.     

 Pipeline Expansion 

Texas Gas' expansion project called the Fayetteville & Greenville Laterals is one of the four projects announced by Boardwalk.  This project is designed to provide takeaway capacity from the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas.  The Fayetteville Lateral will take gas from the Fayetteville Shale at Grandview, Arkansas, and carry it to Lula, Mississippi, the interconnection point with Texas Gas.  The Greenville Lateral will receive gas from Texas Gas at Greenville, Mississippi and carry it to Kosciusko, Mississippi where there are interconnects at Texas Eastern Transmission and SONAT.  In addition the Greenville Lateral has interconnects with Tennessee Gas Transmission, ANR, Trunkline Gas Company, and Columbia Gulf Transmission along its route.  The Greenville Lateral attracts new supply sources to Texas Gas as it increases the available market outlets for its shippers. 

Storage Expansion 

Texas Gas has signed 10-year precedent agreements for 5.1 Bcf of storage capacity for its Western Kentucky Storage Expansion Phase III project.  In February 2008, the FERC granted us the authority to develop up to 8.3 Bcf of new working gas capacity and granted market-based rate authority for this new capacity.  The cost of this project will be dependent on the ultimate size of the expansion.  We expect 5.4 Bcf of storage capacity to be in service during the fourth quarter 2008.
