Kinder Morgan, DCP Midstream and Targa Resources Announce Final Investment Decision on Gulf Coast Express Pipeline Project

Definitive Agreements signed by JV Partners; Sufficient
Commitments Achieved to Move Forward with the Project

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC (KMTP), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan,
Inc. (NYSE: KMI), DCP Midstream, LP (NYSE: DCP) (DCP Midstream) and an
affiliate of Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) (Targa) today announced
a final investment decision to proceed with the Gulf Coast Express
Pipeline Project (GCX Project) after having executed definitive joint
venture agreements and having secured sufficient firm transportation
agreements with shippers. Approximately 85 percent of the project
capacity is subscribed and committed under long-term, binding
transportation agreements, and the partners expect that the remaining
capacity will be subscribed by early 2018.

Shippers that have committed to the project include, but are not limited
to, the following: DCP Midstream, Targa, Apache Corporation and Pioneer
Natural Resources Company. KMTP also has committed volumes that are
backstopped by a long-term purchase agreement that locks in the
equivalent transport fee on the pipeline.

The approximately $1.7 billion GCX Project is designed to transport up
to 1.92 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas. The GCX
Project Mainline portion consists of approximately 82 miles of 36-inch
pipeline and 365 miles of 42-inch pipeline originating at the Waha Hub
near Coyanosa, Texas in the Permian Basin and terminating near Agua
Dulce, Texas. Additionally, the Midland Lateral portion consists of
approximately 50 miles of 36-inch pipeline and associated compression,
connecting with the GCX Project Mainline.

The project is expected to be in service in October 2019, pending the
receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. As previously announced, KMI
will build, operate and own a 50 percent interest in the GCX Project,
and DCP Midstream and Targa will each hold a 25 percent equity interest
in the project. In addition to their transportation agreements, shipper
Apache Corporation has an option to purchase up to a 15 percent equity
stake in the project from Kinder Morgan.

“We are excited to be moving forward on this much-needed infrastructure
project, with construction planned to commence in the first quarter of
2018,” said Kinder Morgan Natural Gas Midstream President Duane Kokinda.
“We’re very pleased to have secured the commitments needed for all
parties to proceed. The remaining available capacity continues to be
marketed to interested shippers and may be offered as part of a binding
open season in January 2018. With this important milestone reached, the
project is now included in Kinder Morgan’s backlog.”
