Forward-Looking Statements
Statements
made
in
this
presentation
that
are
not
historical
facts
are
forward-looking statements.  We believe the assumptions underlying these
statements are reasonable, but caution you that such forward-looking statements
involve risks that may affect our prospects and performance, causing actual
results to differ from those discussed here.  Such risks and uncertainties include:
our ability to consummate announced acquisitions and integrate them into
existing operations; our ability to complete internal growth projects; the ability of
such acquisitions and internal growth projects to be cash-flow accretive;
increased competition; changes in demand for crude oil we buy and sell, as well
as for crude oil and refined products we store and distribute; the loss of a major
customer; changes in our tariff rates; changes in throughput of third-party
pipelines connected to our pipelines and terminals; changes in levels of
environmental remediation spending; potential equipment malfunction; potential
labor relations problems; the legislative or regulatory environment; plant
construction/repair delays; and political and economic conditions, including the
impact of potential terrorists acts and international hostilities.
These
and
other
applicable
risks
and
uncertainties
are
described
more
fully in our 2008 Form 10-Q (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 5, 2008).  We undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements in this presentation, whether as a result of new

Managing Capital Project Risks
David A. Justin
VP Operations


Capital Construction Projects
From concept to actual construction, many factors impact a multi-year
project:
Customers require early estimates to determine their interest
Scope of project generally expands as project becomes better
defined
Detailed engineering estimates to get to +/-
10% accuracy are
expensive and later in process
Project economics require a good understanding of the estimate
ranges
Contractual agreement (Throughput & Deficiency Agreement) with
customers initiates permitting and contracting activities before
actual start of construction

Capital Construction Projects
Key concerns once customer contract signed:
Escalation of:
Materials
primarily
steel
(45%
of
pipeline
and
55%
of
tank
costs)
Construction
costs
in
a
market
with

Lease Acquisition Markets


Business Philosophy
Balanced Book
Before new barrels can be purchased, it is verified that there is a sales
contract in place for the new barrels
All term purchases are sold on a corresponding term basis
All month-to-month purchase contracts are renegotiated as market
conditions change
Volatility is inherent in the crude oil marketing business and our philosophy
is to maximize margins while carefully managing risk
4


Major EBITDA Components
Gross Margin
Difference between sales price and cost of crude oil
Contango
Prompt crude cost is less than future crude cost
Quality Optimization
Maximize value of crudes of different quality

Nederland Utilization by Lease Acquisition
Daily volume has increased from 35 MBD in 2006 to 63 MBD in
2008
Currently delivering Gulf Coast, East Texas, South Texas and WTI
crude oils to Nederland
Volumes to be expanded by barged-in crude oil from South
Texas/Louisiana coast and foreign sweet/sour oil
Market crude oil to diverse group of refiners
Goal is to add sweet/sour crude oil streams and new inland
markets
Currently lease 0.7 MMB of storage capacity which will grow up to
1.3 MMB in 2009
15


Gather 3 MBD of Texas Gulf Coast crude and condensate into Bay
City Terminal
Barge crude to Nederland for sale
Barge up to 5 MBD of Gulf Coast condensate to Bay City
fractionator
Utilize same barge that moves crude to Nederland
Increase segregated Gulf Coast condensate volume
Expansion opportunities exist with additional Lease gathering/barge-
out facilities and fractionator locations
Bay City Fractionator
16


Midland Optimization
Transport crude oil from the Texas Gulf Coast and Hearne/Southbend
area, and market in the West Texas Area
Economic driver is arbitrage between GC A and West Texas
Provides SXL
Amdel tariff revenue
Hearne/Southbend marketing flexibility
Critical mass to initiate foreign cargo purchasing
Opportunity to market foreign crude to West Texas refiners

Non GAAP Reconciliation
Management
of
the
Partnership
believes
EBITDA
and
free
cash
flow
information
enhances
an
investor's
understanding
of
a
business’
ability
to
generate
cash
for
payment
of
distributions
and
other
purposes.
In
addition,
EBITDA
is
also
used
as
a
measure
in
the
Partnership's
$400
million
and
$100
million
revolving
credit
facilities
in
determining
its
compliance
with
certain
covenants.
However,
there
may
be
contractual,
legal,
economic
or
other
reasons
which
may
prevent
the
Partnership
from
satisfying
principal
and
interest
obligations
with
respect
to
indebtedness
and
may
require
the
Partnership
to
allocate
funds
for
other
purposes.
EBITDA
and
free
cash
flow
do
not
represent
and
should
not
be
considered
alternatives
to
net
income
or
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
as
determined
under
United

generally
accepted
accounting
principles
and
may
not
