UPDATE on Cuero TX pipeline failure

I just got an email from Vicki Granado, who does PR for Energy Transfer Partners.

This pipeline was a 42" natural gas (rich/wet gas) gathering line, which explains why it is not on NPMS.

Here are her responses following my questions:

> Also, can you tell me

> 1: the MAOP of the pipeline which failed,

1300

> 2: the operating pressure at the time of the failure

821

> 3: confirm the diameter 42"

(yes)

> 4: confirm the product being transported –

natural gas

> 5: the age of the pipeline which failed?

Don't have that at this time
