Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

under the Securities Act of 1933

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Oklahoma counsel to ONEOK, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), ONEOK Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OKS”), and ONEOK Partners Intermediate Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (together with OKS, the “Guarantors”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration under the Act of the following securities: (a) one or more series of senior or subordinated debt securities of the Company (collectively, the “Debt Securities”); (b) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); (c) stock purchase contracts; (d) stock purchase contract units; (e) shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”); (f) depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”); (g) warrants (the “Warrants”); and (h) guarantees of the Debt Securities by the Guarantors. The Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares and the Warrants are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies that have been certified as being true and complete copies of the originals of such documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied, to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation, upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

We have assumed without independent investigation that:

(i) at the time any Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Relevant Time”), the Registration Statement and any supplements and amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will be effective and will comply with all applicable laws;

(ii) at the Relevant Time, a prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered thereby, and all related documentation will comply with all applicable laws;

(iii) neither the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma nor the by-laws of the Company, as amended to date, will be amended in any manner that would affect any legal conclusion set forth herein;

(iv) the Company shall remain validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma;

(v) all Securities will be issued and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and any applicable prospectus supplement;

(vi) at the Relevant Time, all corporate or other action required to be taken by the Company to duly authorize each proposed issuance of Securities and any related documentation (including (i) the due reservation of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock for issuance upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any securities for Common Stock or Preferred Stock (a “Convertible Security”), and (ii) the execution (in the case of certificated Securities), delivery and performance of the Securities and any related documentation referred to in paragraphs 1 through 4 below) shall have been duly completed and shall remain in full force and effect;

(vii) any Deposit Agreement (as defined herein) or Warrant Agreement (as defined herein) will be governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma;

(viii) upon the issuance of any Common Stock or Preferred Stock, including upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, the total number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued and outstanding will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, that the Company is then authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation, as then in effect, and other relevant documents; and

(ix) at the Relevant Time, a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement and any other necessary agreement with respect to any Securities offered or issued will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company and duly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto.

Based on such examination and review, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. With respect to shares of Common Stock, when:

(a) such shares of Common Stock have been duly executed (in the case of certificated shares) and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement for the consideration provided for therein, or (ii) upon conversion or exercise of any Convertible Security, in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Security or the instrument governing such Convertible Security providing for such conversion or exercise, and for any additional consideration specified therein, which consideration (including any consideration paid for such Convertible Security), on a per-share basis, shall in either event not be less than the par value of the Common Stock, and

(b) any such Convertible Security was previously validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable (in the case of an equity security) or is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (in the case of any non-equity security),

such shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) any such Convertible Security was previously validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable (in the case of an equity security) or is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (in the case of any non-equity security),

such shares of Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3. With respect to Depositary Shares, when:

(b) the terms of the Depositary Shares have been established in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, and

(c) the depositary receipts representing the Depositary Shares have been duly executed and countersigned (in the case of certificated Depositary Shares), registered and delivered in accordance with the related Deposit Agreement and the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement for the consideration provided therein,

the depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

4. With respect to any Warrants, when:

(a) the warrant agreement relating to such Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each other party thereto,

(b) the terms of the Warrants have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement, and

(c) the Warrants have been duly executed (in the case of certificated Warrants) and delivered in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement for the consideration provided for therein,
