TEPPCO Partners, L.P. to Construct New Pipeline Serving Mont Belvieu Storage Infrastructure.

HOUSTON -- TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today announced plans to construct a new 20-inch diameter lateral pipeline that will connect the partnership's mainline system to the Enterprise Products Partners storage facility at Mont Belvieu, Texas. The new connection, which will provide delivery of propane into the TEPPCO system at full line flow rates, complements the partnership's current ability to source product from Mont Belvieu Storage Partners.

The new lateral will also offer the ability to deliver other liquid products such as butanes and natural gasoline from Enterprise's storage facilities into the TEPPCO system at reduced flow rates until enhancements can be made. The capability to deliver butanes and natural gasoline from Mont Belvieu Storage Partners at full flow rates will not be impacted. Construction of the new connection is expected to be completed around Jan. 1, 2007.

"We are excited about this project and the commercial and operational benefits it will offer our customers by improving access to propane for delivery into our mainline," said Jerry Thompson, TEPPCO president and chief executive officer. "Having two source points for propane will provide customers with additional storage and supply options to help meet their needs."
