OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Upstream Segment

The upstream segment includes transportation, storage, gathering and marketing of crude oil; and distribution of lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of  oils and specialty chemicals A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant. .

EBITDA from continuing operations for the upstream segment increased 22 percent to $31 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared with $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2005. The increase in EBITDA resulted primarily from increased marketing and transportation revenues, partially offset by increased operating expense Operating Expense

These higher expenses were partially offset by increased natural gas gathering revenues resulting from the Phase IV expansion of the Jonah system completed in early 2006. Total natural gas gathering volumes increased 10 percent, to approximately 1.74 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the second quarter of 2006, compared with approximately 1.58 Bcf/d in the second quarter of 2005.

Downstream Segment

The downstream segment includes the transportation and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases liquefied petroleum gas or LPG, mixture of gases, chiefly propane and butane, produced commercially from petroleum and stored under pressure to keep it in a liquid state.  (LPGs) and petrochemicals.

 transportation revenues and increased operating, general and administrative expenses. Demand for long-haul propane transportation used for summer-fill programs was lower in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of excess supply from the warmer winter weather in early 2006. Expenses were higher in 2006 due primarily to assets acquired in the second half of 2005, increased insurance costs, a regulatory penalty for past incidents, employee severance costs and expenses related to the proposed amendments to our partnership agreement. Transportation volumes increased 9 percent to approximately 597,000 bpd in the second quarter of 2006, compared with approximately 549,000 bpd in the second quarter of 2005.

Our pro-rata share of EBITDA from unconsolidated investments, which is included in downstream segment EBITDA, was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared with $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2005.

Our pro-rata share of EBITDA in Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared with $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to higher system maintenance expenses on the Mont Belvieu Storage Partners' system.

2006 OUTLOOK

Based on our performance during the six months ended June 30, 2006, and projections for the remainder of the year, we expect EBITDA for the full year of 2006, excluding the results from discontinued operations, to remain in the range of $400 million to $420 million. We expect net income per unit to be in the range of $1.65 to $1.85 per unit, excluding the results of discontinued operations, which is a $0.05 decrease from the forecast provided earlier in the year. The decrease in net income per unit reflects the increase in the weighted average number of units outstanding resulting from the new units issued in July 2006, as noted above.

We currently anticipate that total capital expenditures for 2006 will be approximately $265 million, which will include approximately $195 million for organic growth projects and $40 million for maintenance capital expenditures, which includes $19 million for pipeline integrity. We estimate $30 million in expenditures for system upgrades. Additionally, we expect to contribute for the remainder of 2006 approximately $119 million to the new Jonah joint venture for our share of the Phase V expansion.

In April 2006, EPCO EPCO Explorer Pipeline Company, Inc , Inc. made a proposal to the Audit and Conflicts Committee of the general partner's board of directors to reduce the general partner's maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions from 50 percent to 25 percent with respect to that portion of our quarterly cash distribution to partners that exceeds $0.325 per unit. In exchange for the agreement to reduce its maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions, our general partner would receive a number of newly-issued units that, based on the distribution rate and the number of units outstanding at the time of issuance, would result in our general partner receiving cash distributions from the newly-issued units and from its reduced maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions that would approximately equal the cash distributions our general partner would have received from its maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions without reduction. Based on our current distribution rate and outstanding units, the number of newly-issued TEPPCO units issued to the general partner would be approximately 14.1 million. On June 26, 2006, TEPPCO filed a preliminary proxy statement Proxy Statement

We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense - net, depreciation and amortization, and a pro-rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint ventures. We have included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe EBITDA is used by our investors as a supplemental financial measure in the evaluation of our business. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights table.

We believe EBITDA provides useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis. As a result, EBITDA provides investors a helpful measure for comparing the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA multiples are also used by our investors in assisting in the valuation of our limited partners' equity.

Information in the accompanying Operating Data table includes margin of the upstream segment, which may be viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC. Margin is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil. We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed. Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities being evaluated. A reconciliation of margin to operating income is provided in the Operating Data table accompanying this earnings release.
