WEST TEXAS – LONGVIEW ACCESS

NOTICE OF OPEN SEASON

Shippers have expressed interest in improvements to the Sunoco Pipeline L.P. (“SPLP”) pipeline that extends from Goodrich, Texas to Longview, Texas (the “SPLP Existing Pipeline”) that will enable the SPLP Existing Pipeline to receive crude petroleum from the West Texas Gulf Pipeline at a location close to Goodrich and deliver crude petroleum to the Mid-Valley Pipeline in Longview (the segments of the SPLP Existing Pipeline from its interconnection with the West Texas Gulf Pipeline near Goodrich to the Mid-Valley Pipeline, “West Texas – Longview Access”).

SPLP announces an open season that will provide an opportunity for shippers to support West Texas – Longview Access by making volume commitments, thereby becoming “Priority Service Shippers.”

Highlights of Project

• 
  Subject to regulatory approval, the committed volumes of Priority Service Shippers would not be subject to prorationing to accommodate the volumes of uncommitted shippers under ordinary operating conditions.
  
• 
  Priority Service Shippers would have the flexibility of selecting a term that expires in 2017 or 2020.
  
• 
  Priority Service Shippers would not be exposed to construction cost risk on their volume commitments.
  
• 
  It is anticipated West Texas – Longview Access would be in full, segregated service in January 2013.
  
• 
  In certain circumstances, Priority Service Shippers would be entitled to a credit against their volume commitments when West Texas – Longview Access or the West Texas Gulf Pipeline cannot transport the Priority Service Shippers’ volumes.
