Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
     (d) Exhibit 99.1—Press release dated November 2, 2006
Item 2.02 and Item 7.01. Results of Operations and Financial Condition; Regulation FD Disclosure
     Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Partnership”) today issued a press release reporting its third quarter 2006 results. We are furnishing the press release, attached as Exhibit 99.1, pursuant to Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. Pursuant to Item 7.01 we are providing detailed guidance for financial performance for the fourth quarter (which supersedes guidance in our 8-K furnished on August 1, 2006) of calendar 2006 and resulting financial performance for the full year of calendar 2006. The Partnership’s guidance excludes any contribution from the proposed merger with Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. (“Pacific Energy”) announced June 12, 2006. Note 12 includes the estimated impact of the Pacific Energy acquisition to our fourth quarter, assuming the acquisition closes on November 15, 2006. In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information presented herein under Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Update of Fourth Quarter 2006 Estimates
     EBIT and EBITDA (each as defined below in Note 1 to the “Operating and Financial Guidance” table) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net income and cash flows from operating activities are the most directly comparable GAAP measures to EBIT and EBITDA. In Note 11 below, we reconcile EBITDA and EBIT to net income for the 2006 guidance periods presented. However, it is impractical to reconcile EBIT and EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities for forecasted periods. We encourage you to visit our website at www.paalp.com, in particular the section entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation,” which presents a historical reconciliation of certain commonly used non-GAAP financial measures, including EBIT and EBITDA. We present EBIT and EBITDA because we believe they provide additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities and our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe that debt holders commonly use EBITDA to analyze partnership performance. In addition, we have highlighted the impact of our long-term incentive plan, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, gains and losses related to SFAS 133 (primarily non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments) to the extent known, interest expense related to our New Senior Notes (as defined in Note 7) and interest income from the investment of the net proceeds from the New Senior Notes on EBITDA, Net Income and Net Income per Basic and Diluted Limited Partner Unit.
     The following guidance for the three month period ending December 31, 2006 is based on assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable given our assessment of historical trends, business cycles and other information reasonably available. However, our assumptions and future performance are both subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties, so no assurance can be provided that actual performance will fall within the guidance ranges. Please refer to the information under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks” below. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other unforeseeable risks and uncertainties, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the following table. The operating and financial guidance provided below is given as of the date hereof, based on information known to us as of November 1, 2006. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Segment profit is forecast using the volume assumptions in the table above, priced at tariff rates currently received, less estimated field operating costs and G&A expenses. Field operating costs do not include depreciation.
To illustrate the impact volume changes may have on fourth quarter segment profit, the following table provides a volume sensitivity analysis of three systems representing approximately 28% of total pipeline net revenues.

3.   Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling and Storage Operations. The level of profit in the GMT&S segment is influenced by overall market structure and the degree of volatility in the crude oil market as well as variable operating expenses. Operating results for the three-month period ending December 31, 2006 reflect an expected continuation of the current contango market and favorable market conditions (relative to our asset base and business model) generally consistent with the conditions experienced over most of 2005 and 2006 to date, although not quite as favorable as market conditions in the first nine months of 2006. Unexpected changes in market structure or volatility (or lack thereof) could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasted results.

(1)   Mid-point of guidance.
Segment profit is forecast using the volume assumptions stated above and estimates of unit margins, field operating costs, G&A expenses and carrying costs for contango inventory based on current and anticipated market conditions. Field operating costs do not include depreciation. Realized unit margins for any given lease-gathered barrel could vary significantly based on a variety of factors including location, quality and contract structure. Based on our mid-point projection of adjusted segment profit per barrel for the three months ending December 31, 2006, a 15,000 Bbl/d variance in lease gathering volumes would impact fourth-quarter segment profits by approximately $1.0 million. A $0.01 variance in the aggregate average per-barrel margin would impact fourth-quarter segment profits by approximately $0.7 million.
4.   Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization are forecast based on our existing depreciable assets and forecasted capital expenditures. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from 3 years (for office furniture and equipment) to 40 years (for certain pipelines, crude oil terminals and facilities).

5.   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133). The guidance presented above does not include assumptions or projections with respect to potential gains or losses related to derivatives accounted for under SFAS 133, as there is no accurate way to forecast these potential gains or losses. The potential gains or losses related to these derivatives (primarily mark-to-market adjustments) could cause actual net income to differ materially from our projections.
6.   Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures. Although acquisitions constitute a key element of our growth strategy, the forecasted results and associated estimates do not include any assumptions or forecasts for any other acquisition that may be made after the date hereof. Capital expenditures for expansion projects are forecast to be approximately $310 million during calendar 2006 of which $214 million was incurred in the first nine months of 2006. Following are some of the more notable projects and estimated expenditures for the year.

7.   Capital Structure. This guidance is based on our capital structure as of September 30, 2006 as adjusted to give effect to the aggregate $1 billion private placement of 10-year and 30-year senior notes (“New Senior Notes”) that closed on October 30, 2006. The net proceeds from the New Senior Notes will be used to fund the cash portion of the Pacific Energy acquisition expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2006. Pending closing of the Pacific Energy merger, we intend to invest excess proceeds that are not used to repay outstanding indebtedness or for general partnership purposes in short-term investments. In the event the Pacific Energy acquisition does not close by February 15, 2007, we are required to call the New Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount. See Note 8 for treatment of interest expense and interest income attributable to the New Senior Notes during the fourth quarter.
 
    The Partnership’s policy is to finance acquisitions and major growth capital projects with at least 50% equity or cash flow in excess of distributions.

Table of Contents

8.   Interest Expense. Debt balances are projected based on estimated cash flows, current distribution rates, forecasted capital expenditures for maintenance and expansion projects, expected timing of collections and payments, and forecasted levels of inventory and other working capital sources and uses.
 
    Interest expense for the three months ending December 31, 2006 is expected to be between $19.3 million and $20.1 million, assuming an average long-term debt balance excluding the New Senior Notes of approximately $1.3 billion during the period and an all-in average rate of approximately 6.2%. Included in the effective cost of debt are projected interest payments, as well as commitment fees, amortization of long-term debt discounts, deferred amounts associated with terminated interest-rate hedges and interest on short-term debt for non-contango inventory (primarily hedged LPG inventory and New York Mercantile Exchange and International Petroleum Exchange margin deposits). At September 30, 2006, 100% of our long-term debt balance was fixed at an average interest rate of 6.1%. Interest expense does not include interest on borrowings for contango inventory. We treat those costs as carrying costs of crude oil and include it as part of the purchase price of crude oil.
 
    The amount of interest expense noted in the preceding paragraph excludes approximately $10.8 million of interest expense associated with the New Senior Notes discussed in Note 7 above, as well as approximately $8.7 million of interest income earned from investing the net proceeds from the notes offering pending closing of the Pacific Energy acquisition. These amounts are included as separate line items in our primary guidance table, but have been treated as Selected Items Impacting Comparability in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. We believe this is consistent with our treatment of excluding any contribution from Pacific Energy in our guidance pending the closing of the acquisition. In the event the Pacific Energy acquisition does not close by February 15, 2007, we are required to call the New Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount. See Note 12 for an estimate on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income of the impact of the Pacific Energy acquisition assuming the acquisition closes on November 15, 2006.
 
9.   Net Income per Unit. Basic net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net income allocated to limited partners by the basic weighted average units outstanding during the period. Under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 03-06: Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128 (“EITF 03-06”), when the Partnership’s aggregate net income exceeds the aggregate distribution made during such period, earnings per limited partner unit are calculated as if all of the earnings for the period were distributed, regardless of the pro forma nature of the allocation and whether those earnings would actually be distributed during a particular period from an economic or practical perspective. Although EITF 03-06 does not impact overall net income or other financial results of the Partnership, for periods in which aggregate net income exceeds the aggregate distributions for such period, earnings per limited partner unit will be reduced. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit.

    Net income allocated to limited partners is impacted by the income allocated to the general partner and the amount of the incentive distribution paid to the general partner. The amount of income allocated to our limited partnership interests is 98% of the total partnership income after deducting the amount of the general partner’s incentive distribution. Based on our current annualized distribution rate of $3.00 per unit, our general partner’s distribution is forecast to be approximately $49.3 million annually, of which $44.3 million is attributed to the incentive distribution rights. The relative amount of the incentive distribution varies directionally with the number of units outstanding and the level of the distribution on the units. For distribution rates where EITF 03-06 does not apply, each $0.05 per unit annual increase in the distribution over $3.00 per unit decreases net income available for limited partners by approximately $4.0 million ($0.05 per unit) on an annualized basis.
 
10.   Long-term Incentive Plans. The majority of grants outstanding under our Long-Term Incentive Plans contain vesting criteria that are based on a combination of performance benchmarks and service period. The grants will vest in various percentages, typically on the later to occur of specified earliest vesting dates and the dates on which minimum distribution levels are reached. Among the various grants, vesting dates range from May 2007 to December 2010 and minimum annualized distribution levels range from $2.60 to $4.00. For some awards, a percentage of any remaining units will vest on a date certain in 2011 or 2012.
 
    We have reached the annualized distribution level of $3.00 and it has been deemed probable that the $3.20 distribution level will be achieved. Accordingly, guidance includes, for grants that vest at annualized distribution levels of $3.20 or less, an accrual over the corresponding service period at an assumed market price of $46.15 per unit as well as the fair value associated with awards that will vest on a date certain. For 2006, the guidance includes approximately $36.5 million of principally non-cash expense associated with these grants. The earliest significant vesting event for outstanding grants will occur in May 2007.

    The actual amount of LTIP expense amortization in any given year will be directly influenced by our unit price at the end of each reporting period and the amount of amortization in the early years as well as new unit grants. Therefore, actual net income could differ materially from our projections.

The Pacific Energy information is derived from Pacific Energy’s guidance contained in its press release dated November 1, 2006, however, it excludes the impact of anticipated transaction synergies and contributions from capital expansion projects under construction. Although we have not reviewed Pacific Energy’s calculation of its guidance ranges, we believe that the estimates are reasonable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Plains All American Reports Strong Financial Results
for Third Quarter 2006 – Net Income Climbs 38%;
Net Income Per Diluted Unit Increases 13%; EBITDA Up 33%
 
(Houston – November 2, 2006) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) reported third quarter 2006 net income of $95.4 million, equivalent to $0.89 per diluted limited partner unit. These financial results represent increases of 38% and 13%, respectively, over net income of $69.0 million, or $0.79 per diluted limited partner unit, for the third quarter of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, the Partnership reported net income of $239.1 million, or $2.43 per diluted limited partner unit, representing increases of 46% and 17%, respectively, over net income of $164.1 million, or $2.07 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first nine months of 2005.
 
As reported, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the third quarter of 2006 were $138.8 million, an increase of 33% as compared with EBITDA of $104.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 was $358.7 million, an increase of 35% as compared with EBITDA of $266.6 million for the first nine months of 2005. (See the section of this release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the attached tables for a discussion of EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
 
“2006 is on course to be PAA’s most productive year yet,” said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. “Through three quarters, we have delivered strong operating and financial results, generated more than $100 million of cash flow in excess of distributions and completed $577 million of accretive and strategic acquisitions. Upon payment of the quarterly distribution on November 14th, our 2006 distributions paid per unit will exceed distributions paid per unit in 2005 by 11.5%.”
 
“Looking forward, we believe we are positioned to finish the year with solid operating and financial performance and we are implementing a significant expansion capital program which provides a solid foundation for future growth,” continued Armstrong. “Yesterday we completed our eighth acquisition for $33 million and we expect to complete the $2.4 billion merger with Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. on November 15th.” Armstrong noted that the unitholder meetings to approve the merger will be held on November 9th and the response received from unitholders thus far has been positive.”
 
“Importantly, despite all of this growth-related activity, we have maintained a strong capital structure and a high level of liquidity by reinvesting excess cash flow and proactively raising equity in lock-step with our growth,” said Armstrong.
 
The Partnership’s reported results include the impact of various items that affect comparability between reporting periods. Adjusting for selected items impacting comparability, the Partnership’s third quarter 2006 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $87.8 million, $0.95 per diluted unit and $131.2 million, respectively. By way of comparison, the Partnership’s third quarter 2005 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $71.0 million,

$0.95 per diluted unit, and $106.6 million, respectively. On a comparable basis, third quarter 2006 adjusted net income increased 24%, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit remained constant and adjusted EBITDA increased 23% over third quarter 2005.
 
The Partnership’s adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 were $245.1 million, $2.81 per diluted unit and $364.7 million, respectively. The Partnership’s adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2005 were $202.4 million, $2.73 per diluted unit and $304.9 million, respectively. On a comparable basis, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 increased 21%, 3% and 20%, respectively, in comparison with the first nine months of 2005.

Note: Figures may not sum due to rounding.
 
(1) During the first quarter of 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R)(revised) “Share Based Payment,” which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. The cumulative effect adjustment represents a decrease to our LTIP life-to-date accrued expense and related liability, and therefore resulted in a non-cash gain of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2006.
 
(2) In periods when the Partnership’s net income exceeds the cash distribution paid during such periods the application of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06: “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128” (“EITF 03-06”) does not impact the Partnership’s aggregate net income or EBITDA, but does reduce the Partnership’s net income per limited partner unit. The application of EITF 03-06 negatively impacted basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit by $0.16 for the third quarter of 2006, $0.13 for the third quarter of 2005, $0.31 for the first nine months of 2006 and $0.12 for the first nine months of 2005. This impact is included as a selected item impacting income per limited partner unit.

(1) Includes inter-segment amounts. We have adopted EITF 04-13, which impacts the comparability of our revenues, effective April 1, 2006. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 include buy/sell transactions of $52.2 million and $4,442.8 million in the Pipeline segment and Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling & Storage segment, respectively.
 
(2) Segment general and administrative expenses (G&A) reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed at that time. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period.
 
(3) Amounts related to SFAS 133 are included in revenues and impact segment profit. The SFAS 133 mark-to-market adjustment is primarily based upon crude oil prices (and to a lesser extent, other product prices) at the end of the period and is related to the non-effective portion of our cash flow hedges, as well as certain derivative contracts that do not qualify under SFAS 133 as cash flow hedges. The net gain or loss related to these derivative instruments is substantially offset by physical positions in future periods.
 
(4) Gains/losses on foreign currency revaluation are included in the Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling & Storage segment.
 
Excluding selected items impacting comparability in both periods, adjusted segment profit from pipeline operations in the third quarter of 2006 was $56.7 million versus $49.4 million for the third quarter of 2005 on average daily volumes of 2.1 million barrels per day versus 1.8 million barrels per day. The improvement in pipeline segment profit stems from new contracts on the Basin and Capline systems and acquisitions made subsequent to the third quarter of 2005. Adjusted segment profit from gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage operations for the third quarter of 2006 was $72.9 million, an increase of approximately 27% over the corresponding period in 2005. Gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage segment performance was predominantly driven by favorable market conditions, successful execution of our risk management strategies and contributions from recent acquisitions.

(4) Gains/losses on foreign currency revaluation are included in the Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling & Storage segment.
 
The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the third quarter of 2006 totaled 79.9 million (80.8 million diluted) as compared to 68.0 million (69.4 million diluted) in last year’s third quarter. At September 30, 2006, the Partnership had approximately 81.0 million units outstanding, long-term debt of $1.2 billion and a long-term debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 39%.
 
On October 24, 2006, the board of directors approved and the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.75 per unit ($3.00 per unit on an annualized basis) on its outstanding limited partner units. The distribution will be payable on November 14, 2006, to holders of record of such units at the close of business on November 3, 2006. The distribution represents an increase of 11.1% over the November 2005 distribution and 3.4% over the August 2006 distribution. This distribution marks the Partnership’s tenth consecutive quarterly distribution increase and the seventeenth increase in the last twenty-three quarters.
 
The Partnership today furnished a current report on Form 8-K, which included material in this press release and financial and operational guidance for the fourth quarter of 2006. A copy of the Form 8-K is available on the Partnership’s website at www.paalp.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In this release, the Partnership’s EBITDA disclosure is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations or cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe that debt holders commonly use EBITDA to analyze Partnership performance. In addition, we present selected items that impact the comparability of our operating results as additional information that may be helpful to your understanding of our financial results. We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to our evaluation of our operating results and prospects. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and cash flow from operating activities for the periods presented is included in the tables attached to this release. In addition, the Partnership maintains on its website (www.paalp.com) a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, that it reconciles to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on the “Investor Relations” link on the Partnership’s home page and then the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” link on the Investor Relations page.
