The Necessity of Midstream

… A Must Run Business

The Midstream business includes the gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas from a producer’s wellhead and ultimately delivering pipeline quality natural gas and saleable natural gas liquids to the wholesale market.

Gathering transports raw gas to processing and removes water

Processing extracts NGLs, water and contaminants, making pipeline quality natural gas and a mixed NGL stream

Fractionation splits mixed NGLs into specific NGL products for end-use sale

Marketing stores, transports and markets NGL products

Price, fees and volume are the primary margin drivers in the NGL business

Business Segment Value Propositions

Field Processing Plants:

Natural gas gathering and processing “service” business Processing to meet pipeline quality specifications

Payment for services made as a fee or as a percentage of both the liquids and gas Customers – Primarily independent producers with a few remaining major oils

Settlement percentage, asset runtime and reliability, gathering pressure, fuel efficiency, product stewardship and market access are primary value drivers

Straddle Processing Plants:

Historically a “processing option”

Processing becoming a “service” business similar to field processing Payment for services made as a fee or as a percentage of the liquids

Customers – Primarily major oils and an emerging group of independent producers

Settlement percentage, asset runtime and reliability, fuel efficiency, product stewardship and market access are primary value drivers

Liquids Assets:

All are “service” businesses

Payment made as either a fee, a fee with fuel cost adjustment or a percentage of netback Customers – Producers, petrochemical companies and refiners Fees, reliability, product quality, commitment fulfillment and flexibility are primary value drivers

Wholesale Propane, Refinery Services and Marketing:

Revenue generated from margins on sales

Logistics and reliability “service” businesses

Customers – Multi-state and independent propane retailers, petrochemical companies and refiners Reliability, commitment fulfillment and flexibility are primary value drivers

Success driven by service and reliability

Frac Spread Calculation

The sum of the parts can be greater than the whole.

Step 1: Calculate the NGL value ($/MMBtu):

($/Gal)

 

B Conversion Factor (MMBtu/Gal)

C [A / B]

($/MMBtu)

 

D

Composition(1)

[C * D]

Value of NGL

($/MMBtu)

 

Ethane (C2) 0.480 0.0664 $7.23 36.5% 2.64

Propane (C3) 0.737 0.0916 $8.05 31.8% 2.56

Isobutane (C4) 0.828 0.0997 $8.30 6.2% 0.52

Normal butane (NC4) 0.849 0.1037 $8.19 11.2% 0.92

Pentane (C5) 0.928 0.1122 $8.27 14.3% 1.18

Total NGL $7.82 E

Step 2: Determine the natural gas value: Henry Hub ($/MMBtu) $6.15 F

Step 3: The difference is the frac spread: $1.67 [E—F]

Step 4: Adjust the frac spread for location difference and processing plant operating expense, fuel and volume shrink to determine if liquids extraction or recovery is profitable.

(1) NGL composition will vary by well, ambient temperatures and extraction efficiency.

FERC approval of hydrocarbon dew point specifications on natural gas pipelines along the Gulf of Mexico assumed to be effective July 1, 2005

Significant production historically processed under Keep Whole (KW) contracts will be required to comply with hydrocarbon dew point specifications and will generally settle under either fee or hybrid contracts

Hybrid contracts will typically settle as a fee; they convert to percentage of liquids (POL) when the frac spread supports extraction of NGLs

Dynegy’s frac spread exposure declines significantly with enforcement of hydrocarbon dew point specifications

Borderline Frac Spread High Frac Spread

Gathering and Processing operating margin can vary significantly as crude and natural gas prices vary Current KW contract exposure (frac spread exposure) is low and declines to an immaterial level after hydrocarbon dew point processing is required for Gulf of Mexico gas At a given crude price, as gas price changes, hybrid contracts shift between POL and fee; the associated change in operating margin is more than offset by the change in operating margin from field processing POP contracts A “High Frac Spread” (IV, High Crude/Low Gas) and a “Very Low Frac Spread” (I, Low Crude/High Gas) both can produce similar margin contributions

Note: Assumes post dew point processing contract mix

Operating margin impact from hybrid contracts shifting between fee and POL is more than offset by the impact of gas and crude price changes on POP contracts at field plants

Contract Portfolio and Frac Spread

Key ‘Takeaways’

Exposure to frac spread significantly mitigated under fee and hybrid settlement structure The pending FERC decision on hydrocarbon dew point specifications expected to reduce processors’ exposure to frac spread risk and increase straddle processing volumes The frac spread varies with natural gas price, NGL price and NGL content The economic frac spread varies by processing plant The major operating margin driver for Dynegy’s upstream processing business is the field processing POP contract mix

Numbers are based on what Dynegy reports financially on a consolidated upstream basis, including 100% of Versado Hydrocarbon dew point control in effect starting July 1, 2005

Midstream expected to earn operating margins of approximately $280 MM-$415 MM across a wide range of crude and natural gas prices

2004-2005 fractionation decline due to loss of a large term contract in 3Q 2004, which is assumed to be replaced over the longer-term All other refinery services and wholesale volumes remain relatively flat
