Binding Open Season for the Perry Delivery Project

January 14, 2008, Owensboro, KY
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star) announced today that it is developing a new interstate natural gas delivery project that will provide incremental deliveries of up to 100,000 Dth/d to Enogex, Inc. (Enogex), into their East Rate Zone near their Perry Compressor Station in Noble County, Oklahoma. Southern Star is conducting a Binding Open Season from January 14, 2008 to February 11, 2008 to solicit expressions of interest for Firm Transportation Service (FTS) for this project. The Perry Delivery Project will provide convenient access to mid-continent gas supply sources for Enogex customers and provide additional gas supplies that can be transported across Enogex.

Southern Star invites parties interested in firm transportation capacity on the Perry Delivery Project to submit binding bids between 8 a.m. CST on Monday, January 14, 2008, and 5 p.m. CST on Monday, February 11, 2008.

Southern Star will evaluate all service requests in response to this Open Season to determine whether market demand economically justifies the Perry Delivery Project. Southern Star will notify customers as soon as possible of its decision to proceed with the Perry Delivery Project. If sufficient interest is shown, and Southern Star decides to move forward as set out herein, precedent agreements for firm transportation service will be executed. Subject to Southern Star’s ability to execute precedent agreements with creditworthy entities that are sufficient, in Southern Star’s sole judgment, to make the project economically viable, and subject to approval by Southern Star’s Board, Southern Star would file a Section 7(c) application seeking authority from FERC to construct the facilities.

“The Perry Delivery Project will provide an excellent source of mid-continent natural gas supply for Enogex’s existing customers and for their future customers,” said Jerry Morris, President and Chief Executive Officer for Southern Star.
