Expansion I & II (Increased) Peak Sendout Capacity:	2.1 bcfd.

Expansion III Description:	An Infrastructure enhancement project (IEP) was signed between Trunkline LNG, the terminal owner, and BG LNG Services in March 2006. The expansion includes the installation of an ambient air vaporization system to enhance fuel efficiency and save costs, an NGL extraction facility, providing BG the option to extract ethane and other heavier hydrocarbons, and an agreement to extend the existing terminal and pipeline services contract with BG LNG Services for another five years to 2028. The expansion is expected to be operational by 3Q 2008. FERC approval was received June 15, 2006.
Vaporizers:	Trunkline LNG is expected to save millions in fuel costs by installing a $250-million Mustang Engineering Smart Air Vaporization process. The LNG Smart Air Vaporization process captures the natural heat in ambient air and humidity to vaporize LNG, reducing fuel costs. At $6 natural gas, Mustang expects Trunkline to save $25 million a year per bcfd of throughput by using ambient air to warm LNG.
