Business Wire, Feb 2, 2005

HOUSTON -- Falcon Gas Storage Company today announced that up to 3.5 Bcf of working gas storage capacity will be available at Falcon's Hill-Lake Gas Storage facility beginning April 1, 2005. Currently, all 10 Bcf of Hill-Lake's working gas storage capacity is fully subscribed through the end of this winter.

Through Hill-Lake, a high-deliverability, multi-cycle (HDMC) gas storage facility located in Eastland County, Texas, Falcon provides an array of gas storage services to energy markets in the Dallas-Ft. Worth and North Texas areas, as well as markets at the Waha hub in West Texas and the Carthage hub in East Texas. Pipeline connections include Atmos Energy's (Lone Star's) Line "X" and Line "WA," the Energy Transfer/Enterprise Products (GulfTerra) North Texas Pipeline and Enbridge's Line "KC."

"We were very pleased with the strong market response for HDMC gas storage services at our Hill-Lake Facility this past injection/withdrawal season," said John M. Hopper, Falcon's president. "Most of our existing customers already have renewed and extended their contracts for the 2005/2006 season even though this winter is not yet over. Given the strong interest in gas storage in the North Texas/Dallas-Ft. Worth market, now is the time for customers to begin contracting for storage capacity for the upcoming injection/withdrawal season. We expect to be fully subscribed by March 31."
