Enterprise and Jicarilla Apache Nation Form Joint Venture for San Juan Natural Gas Gathering Assets

Business Wire, Nov 27, 2007

HOUSTON -- Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) and the Jicarilla Apache Nation today announced the formation of a joint venture to own and operate natural gas gathering assets located on and near Jicarilla Apache Nation reservation lands. The joint venture will own and operate gathering assets in northwest New Mexico that were previously 100 percent owned by Enterprise. In order to officially take effect, the agreements related to the joint venture must be approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Enterprise will receive relatively equivalent value for its contributions of 545 miles of gathering lines, which have an approximate throughput of 31 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d); related gathering assets; and 40 MMcf/d of redelivery and natural gas processing capacity through its San Juan Gathering System. The Jicarilla Apache Nation will contribute rights for access and use of reservation lands for operation and expansion of the joint venture gathering system, which will be operated by Enterprise. The joint venture assets are currently part of Enterprise's San Juan Gathering System, which is comprised of more than 6,000 miles of natural gas pipelines in New Mexico and Colorado that gather more than 1 billion cubic feet per day.

"We are very pleased to enter into this agreement which will provide our customers in this prolific energy producing area with a seamless transition, long-term stability and midstream service options allowing them to optimize the value of their products," said Enterprise President and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Creel. "In addition, Enterprise is honored to be part of the Jicarilla Apache Nation's strategic efforts to build value for its natural resources. We look forward to a long and productive relationship."

"This joint venture with Enterprise will establish a strong foundation for the Jicarilla Apache Nation to work with producers on the Reservation to encourage continued development of our natural gas reserves," said Jicarilla Apache Nation President Levi Pesata. "The Jicarilla Apache

Nation looks for long-term partners for economic development and we have found a strong and innovative partner in Enterprise."

The Jicarilla Apache Nation is a federally-recognized Indian tribe, whose Reservation was established in 1887 and now consists of approximately 880,000 acres of land located on the eastern edge of the San Juan Basin. Natural gas production has been the driving force of the Jicarilla Apache economy since 1953. A brief history of the Jicarilla Apache Nation and its people is available at www.jicarillaonline.com.
