Growth Strategy

We operate an integrated network of midstream assets. Our business strategies are to:

• Capitalize on expected increases in natural gas, NGL and crude oil production resulting from development activities in the Rocky Mountains and U.S. Gulf Coast regions, including the Barnett Shale, Haynesville Shale and Eagle Ford Shale producing regions;
• Capitalize on expected demand growth for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and petrochemical and refined products;
• Maintain a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets and expand this asset base through growth capital projects and accretive acquisitions of complementary midstream energy assets;
• Enhance the stability of our cash flows by investing in pipelines and other fee-based businesses; and
• Share capital costs and risks through joint ventures or alliances with strategic partners, including those that will provide the raw materials for these growth capital projects or purchase the projects' end products.

Our business strategy involves expansion through growth projects. We expect that these projects will enhance our existing asset base and provide us with additional opportunities in the future.
