Tennessee Gas Pipeline and Kinetica Partners Amend Agreement to Sell Production Area Facilities

Kinetica Partners LLC (“KPLLC”) and Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (“TGP”) have entered into an amended agreement for the purchase and sale of facilities in the natural gas production areas of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. The amendment provides the terms and conditions under which TGP would sell certain facilities it now owns and operates in the production area to KPLLC and builds on the purchase and sale agreement dated October 2010 and the facilities previously proposed to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) for abandonment by sale. In addition to the facilities that were approved by FERC for abandonment as gathering facilities, the amended agreement includes the facilities previously proposed for sale and found to be jurisdictional, as well as additional facilities that KPLLC will acquire as jurisdictional facilities. The amended agreement is subject to several conditions precedent, including management consents and regulatory approvals, and both TGP and KPLLC are preparing applications for FERC authorization to be filed this summer. The transaction aligns with KPLLC’s focus on serving producers in and near the Gulf of Mexico and TGP’s focus on aligning its facilities to support emerging onshore supplies near its existing pipeline system. TGP and KPLLC will be discussing the proposed sale with customers and regulators over the coming weeks.
