			<title>Tres Palacios ICE Hub Pooling Point</title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16pt&quot;&gt;TRES PALACIOS ICE HUB POOLING POINT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;Tres Palacios is pleased to announce the creation of the Tres Palacios Hub Pooling Point.&amp;nbsp;The Hub will be available for trading on ICE and scheduling on the Tres Palacios nomination system.&amp;nbsp;Tres Palacios is allowing customers to nominate title transfers free of charge within the pool. Firm Storage customers (with alternate point rights) will also have access to inject and withdrawl(1) to and from the pool subject to their previously negotiated commodity and fuel rates, and all Tariff General Terms and Conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;Additionally, Tres Palacios is allowing customers to wheel gas, (IT basis) under its tariff from any receipt point to the Hub Pool Point, free of charge.&amp;nbsp;Customers requesting wheeling service from the Hub for delivery to any interconnect must contact Tres Palacios in order to negotiate a market based rate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;The Tres Palacios Hub Pooling Point should work much like other interstate pooling points, such as NGPL (STX Pool), Tennessee Gas Pipeline (Zone 0 South Pool) and Tetco (STX Pool).&amp;nbsp;Shippers will have access to the pool free of charge on an IT basis, yet must pay to bring gas out of the pool. The Hub Pooling Point &lt;em&gt;does not&lt;/em&gt; currently operate in a manner similar to Moss Bluff, HSC Pool, or the Enstor Katy Hub in that it is not buyer&amp;#8217;s choice or at a fixed, pre-determined rate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;While wheeling to the pool will be free of charge, nominations &lt;em&gt;could be&lt;/em&gt; subject to interruption, consistent with the terms and conditions in the Tres Palacios tariff.&amp;nbsp;Consult with your Tres Palacios representative for daily scheduling restrictions on the Tres Palacios header.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;Tres Palacios reserves the right to amend or modify its title transfer rate at the Tres Palacios Hub Pooling Point and its wheeling rate to the Tres Palacios Hub Pooling Point.&amp;nbsp;The waiving of transfer fees applies only to transfers at the Hub and does not include title transfers at any interconnect or in-ground transfer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 150%&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;We sincerely welcome your input on this new product on behalf of Tres Palacios, so please feel free to contact us as we work to make this product commercially beneficial to your gas storage and wheeling needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana&quot;&gt;(1)&amp;nbsp;Per Section 8.3 of the Tres Palacios FERC Gas Tariff, customers are not permitted to nominate simultaneous injection and withdrawal nominations from firm storage on its system during the same nomination cycle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Arizona Natural Gas Storage Public Open House</title>
			<description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;Arizona&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt; Natural Gas Storage Public Open House&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;Arizona Natural Gas Storage LLC (ANGS) is proposing an interstate natural gas storage facility to be located in Pinal County near the City of Eloy to provide high-deliverability, underground natural gas storage capacity to markets throughout Arizona and potentially California to meet a well documented need for additional natural gas storage capacity and deliverability in Arizona and the Western United States.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;The proposed Project includes a dual pipeline header to connect the storage facility with two existing interstate natural gas pipelines near Randolph, Arizona and lateral pipelines to gas-fired electric generating facilities.&amp;nbsp; The Project would incorporate facilities to be used for the storage of natural gas transported in interstate commerce, as well as facilities to be used to create underground storage caverns and to receive, compress, withdraw, dehydrate, and redeliver natural gas.&amp;nbsp; The Project Facilities would be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended (NGA).&amp;nbsp; ANGS is seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity from FERC under Section 7(c) of the NGA authorizing ANGS to construct the Project and to use the Project Facilities to offer natural gas storage services in interstate commerce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;Arizona Natural Gas Storage LLC (ANGS) is proposing an interstate natural gas storage facility to be located in Pinal County near the City of Eloy to provide high-deliverability, underground natural gas storage capacity to markets throughout Arizona and potentially California to meet a well documented need for additional natural gas storage capacity and deliverability in Arizona and the Western United States.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;The proposed Project includes a dual pipeline header to connect the storage facility with two existing interstate natural gas pipelines near Randolph, Arizona and lateral pipelines to gas-fired electric generating facilities.&amp;nbsp; The Project would incorporate facilities to be used for the storage of natural gas transported in interstate commerce, as well as facilities to be used to create underground storage caverns and to receive, compress, withdraw, dehydrate, and redeliver natural gas.&amp;nbsp; The Project Facilities would be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended (NGA).&amp;nbsp; ANGS is seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity from FERC under Section 7(c) of the NGA authorizing ANGS to construct the Project and to use the Project Facilities to offer natural gas storage services in interstate commerce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The company said the Federal Energy Regulatory &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: FranklinGothic-Book; mso-bidi-font-family: FranklinGothic-Book&quot;&gt;Commission accepted its pre-filing application last month; the facility is expected to come online in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: FranklinGothic-Book; mso-bidi-font-family: FranklinGothic-Book&quot;&gt;summer of 2012.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The industry has been trying to encourage the development of an in-state gas storage project for years. If ANGS builds its project, it will be the first for &lt;st1:State w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Arizona&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: FranklinGothic-Book; mso-bidi-font-family: FranklinGothic-Book&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt; font-family: FranklinGothic-Book; mso-bidi-font-family: FranklinGothic-Book&quot;&gt;proposal would include the construction of some 350 acres of brine ponds, ANGS told FERC.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Tres Palacios Gets OK to Put Header System in Service&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;FERC Thursday approved a request of Tres Palacios Gas Storage LLC, a subsidiary of Westport, CT-based NGS Investments LP, to place its entire storage header system in Texas in service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;Steckman Ridge LP, a joint venture of Spectra Energy and New Jersey Resources, also received a green light to place three storage wells and three lateral lines in service in Bedford County, PA, where it is constructing a 12 Bcf gas storage facility to serve markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, the company said this week [CP08-15].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;In its request, Tres Palacios said it was nearing completion of the construction of the segment of the header system between interconnections with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco) and Tennessee Gas Pipeline (see &lt;em&gt;Daily GPI&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20090716j.html&quot; href=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20090716j.html&quot;&gt;July 16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/25/NGI_Article_2.pdf&quot;&gt;). With the completion of this segment, Tres Palacios said the entire header system would be done [CP07-90].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;The 41.72-mile, looped bidirectional header pipeline will be connected to a number of interstate and intrastate pipelines besides Transco and Tennessee, including Florida Gas Transmission, Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America, Kinder Morgan Tejas, Texas Eastern Transmission, Enterprise Texas, Houston Pipe Line and Enterprise Intrastate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;Tres Palacios said it had constructed and placed into service nine of the 12 interconnects and associated measurement facilities authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;In late 2008 and early this year Tres Palacios received authorization to place into service storage caverns one and two, as well as its gas handling facility and previously constructed portions of the header pipeline system (see &lt;em&gt;Daily GPI&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20081002j.html&quot; href=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20081002j.html&quot;&gt;Oct. 2, 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/25/NGI_Article_2.pdf&quot;&gt;). The storage facility in Matagorda County, TX, is using existing underground salt caverns on the Markham Dome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;A third cavern is targeted for service in 2010, according to Tres Palacios. The three-cavern facility has planned working gas storage capacity of 36.62 Bcf, and will have the ability to receive injections of up to 1 Bcf/d and handle withdrawals of up to 2.5 Bcf/d.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;NGS is a relatively new private company managed by industry veterans with experience in gas storage development, including some former Sempra Energy gas storage officials who helped develop the Bluewater storage field in Michigan among other projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;In late 2008 and early this year Tres Palacios received authorization to place into service storage caverns one and two, as well as its gas handling facility and previously constructed portions of the header pipeline system (see &lt;em&gt;Daily GPI&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20081002j.html&quot; href=&quot;http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20081002j.html&quot;&gt;Oct. 2, 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/25/NGI_Article_2.pdf&quot;&gt;). The storage facility in Matagorda County, TX, is using existing underground salt caverns on the Markham Dome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;A third cavern is targeted for service in 2010, according to Tres Palacios. The three-cavern facility has planned working gas storage capacity of 36.62 Bcf, and will have the ability to receive injections of up to 1 Bcf/d and handle withdrawals of up to 2.5 Bcf/d.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: auto 0in&quot;&gt;NGS is a relatively new private company managed by industry veterans with experience in gas storage development, including some former Sempra Energy gas storage officials who helped develop the Bluewater storage field in Michigan among other projects.&lt;/p&gt;

The salt-cavern storage facility would have connections with the interstate pipelines owned by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/snapshot.aspx?ID=4063467&quot;&gt;Transwestern Pipeline Co. LLC&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/snapshot.aspx?ID=4057159&quot;&gt;El Paso Natural Gas Co.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;The storage site is located in the Picacho Basin, about 35 miles south of Phoenix. In May, NGS Energy &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/article.aspx?ID=9501805&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; that it had signed an agreement with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/snapshot.aspx?ID=4010586&quot;&gt;El Paso Corp.&lt;/a&gt;, giving it an exclusive due diligence period and right to purchase the gas storage facility, located in Pinal County, Ariz. NGS Energy President Laura Luce told SNL Energy that the company has definitive agreements with El Paso for the purchase of the storage facility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;El Paso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;, the parent company of El Paso Natural Gas, had recently considered developing the site for underground gas storage but then &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/article.aspx?ID=9250806&quot;&gt;decided&lt;/a&gt; not to proceed. Despite El Paso's reservations, Luce said her company is optimistic about the project. &quot;It's a go,&quot; she said. &quot;There is an absolute need for storage in the state and there is customer support for it.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;Arizona Corporation Commission Chairman Kristin Mayes is very excited about the project and supportive of the enhanced reliability the project will bring to Arizona, Luce said. The company has received significant support from the state and customers, she said. The company is now in discussions with potential customers, but because of confidentiality agreements she would not name the interested parties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/snapshot.aspx?ID=4190958&quot;&gt;Multifuels LP&lt;/a&gt; has proposed a salt-cavern gas storage project in the same area of Arizona, but &quot;we're proceeding regardless&quot; of Multifuels' plans, Luce said. Multifuels has been stymied by its plans to put the salt water removed from the underground formations in an underground aquifer. The company needed to get an exemption from the state's Environmental Quality Act, which does not allow brine to be injected into aquifers. But the company &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/article.aspx?ID=9748208&quot;&gt;did not receive&lt;/a&gt; approval for the exemption from the Arizona Legislature during the past session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;For its project, NGS Energy plans to store the salt water removed from the caverns in above-ground evaporation ponds. Luce expects that certification from FERC and state agencies for the storage facility will come in a year and construction could begin in fall or winter 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black&quot;&gt;NGS Energy also owns the Tres Palacios gas storage facility in Texas, which &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/article.aspx?ID=8467218&quot;&gt;began service&lt;/a&gt; in 2008. The company's Leaf River Energy Center in Mississippi is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snl.com/InteractiveX/article.aspx?ID=9588264&quot;&gt;under construction&lt;/a&gt;, while construction on its Windy Hill gas storage project in Colorado will begin in 2010. Also, the company's Gulf Coast Connector project in Louisiana is under evaluation, Luce said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>October 31, 2008 Leaf River Energy Center LLC Receives FERC&#8217;s Certificate of Necessity for Natural Gas Storage Facility</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;Westport CT/ October 31, 2008 / Leaf River Energy Center LLC (Leaf River), a wholly owned subsidiary of Westport, CT based NGS Energy LP announced today the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing Leaf River to develop and operate a salt dome natural gas storage facility and the associated pipeline infrastructure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Leaf River is expecting to file for Authorization to Commence Construction with the FERC next week and start building the facility immediately after that authorization is granted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The storage facility will consist of caverns that will be created in two salt domes situated on over 400 acres in Smith and Jasper Counties, Mississippi and when completed, will provide up to 32 Bcf of working gas capacity.&amp;nbsp;The 43 mile pipeline header system associated with the facility will stretch between Smith, Jasper and Clarke counties in Mississippi and interconnect with Southern Natural, Gulf South, Transco, Tennessee, Destin and the proposed Kinder Morgan Express Pipelines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;This highly deliverable and flexible storage facility will be able to inject up to 1 Bcf/d and withdraw up to 2.5 Bcf/d across the facility and is expected to be in service by the summer of 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#8220;We are very excited to receive this order and enter the next phase of development of this necessary and well positioned gas storage facility,&#8221; said Laura Luce, President of Leaf River Energy Center.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#8220;The amount of interest and contracted capacity for this project has really demonstrated the market&#8217;s desire for a natural gas storage facility that can take or place gas in high volumes to multiple pipelines in an economical manner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#8220;Also, like our last project that was brought in operation on time and on budget, the Leaf River Energy Center will provide hundreds of construction jobs and high paying operating positions that will benefit the local area,&#8221; she continued.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Besides the multiple turn firm and interruptible storage services, Leaf River will provide park and loan and hourly balancing services and interruptible wheeling services at market based rates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;NGS Energy LP has assembled a portfolio of highly flexible gas storage assets throughout North America.&amp;nbsp;Their newly operational Tres Palacios Gas Storage facility in Matagorda County, Texas just received FERC authorization to operate the entire facility including all interconnects.&amp;nbsp;Other projects in various stages of development are located in Colorado and Louisiana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
