FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
Reports Third-Quarter 2007 Results
 
(Houston — November 1, 2007) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported third-quarter 2007 net income of $98.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to third-quarter 2006 net income of $95.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted limited partner unit. For the first nine months of 2007, the Partnership reported net income of $287.9 million, or $2.05 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to net income of $239.1 million, or $2.43 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first nine months of 2006. The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the third quarter of 2007 totaled 116.0 million (116.8 million diluted) compared to 79.9 million (80.8 million diluted) for the third quarter of 2006.
 
The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the third quarter of 2007 of $183.3 million, an increase of 32% compared with EBITDA of $138.8 million for the third quarter of 2006. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 was $559.3 million, an increase of 56% compared with EBITDA of $358.7 million for the first nine months of 2006. (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.)
 
“We are pleased with our solid third-quarter operating and financial results,” stated Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. “The Partnership ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet and excellent liquidity and is well positioned to finance its ongoing organic growth activities as well as capitalize on attractive acquisition opportunities. While the Partnership invested approximately $460 million on expansion projects and acquisitions during the first nine months of the year, long-term debt remained unchanged. Additionally, as a result of our recent equity offering and the liquidation of a portion of our contango inventory, short-term debt has decreased more than $500 million since the beginning of the year.”
 
Armstrong also stated that the Partnership increased the midpoint of its full-year operating and financial guidance, which takes into account the third-quarter shift in the overall crude oil market structure. In addition, the midpoint of the Partnership’s preliminary adjusted EBITDA baseline guidance for 2008 is approximately 14% higher than the initial baseline guidance for 2007 provided in February.
 
Reported results include the impact of various items that affect comparability between reporting periods. Adjusted results exclude selected items impacting comparability, as further described in the table below. After excluding such items, the Partnership’s third-quarter 2007 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $111.5 million, $0.77 and $196.4 million, respectively. Comparable results for the third quarter of 2006 were $87.8 million, $0.95 and $131.2 million, respectively. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 were $351.4 million, $2.60 and $612.0 million, respectively, compared to $245.1 million, $2.81 and $364.7 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2006.

  $ (0.11 )   $ (0.06 )   $ (0.55 )   $ (0.38 )
                                 
 
 
(1) The equity compensation charge for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 excludes the portion of the equity compensation expense represented by grants under the 2006 Plan that, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, will be settled in cash only and have no impact on diluted units.
 
(2) During the first quarter of 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “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 adjustment decreased our equity compensation 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.
 
(3) The SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (“SFAS 133”) charge for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, includes a $2.0 million gain and $1.7 million gain, respectively, related to interest rate derivatives, which is included in interest income and other income (expense), net but does not impact segment profit.
 
(4) Includes the initial cumulative effect of the recent change in Canadian tax legislation.
 
(5) 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 three months ended September 30, 2006 and $0.31 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The application of EITF 03-06 had no impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

(1) Includes intersegment amounts. Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, which impacts the comparability of our revenues and purchases. Revenues and purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include buy/sell transactions of $4.8 billion. Revenues and purchases from such transactions are excluded from the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.
 
(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 judgement 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 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 principally offset by physical positions in future periods. The SFAS 133 amount for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 excludes a $2.0 million gain and $1.7 million gain, respectively, related to interest rate derivatives, which is included in interest income and other income (expense), net but does not impact segment profit.
 
Excluding selected items impacting comparability, third-quarter 2007 adjusted segment profit from Transportation operations was $92.0 million, 58% higher than third-quarter 2006 adjusted segment results of $58.3 million. Transportation volumes for the third quarter of 2007 were 2.8 million barrels per day versus 2.2 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2006.
 
Third-quarter 2007 adjusted segment profit for Facilities operations was $28.9 million representing a 181% increase over third-quarter 2006 adjusted Facilities operations segment profit of $10.3 million, reflecting increased storage capacity and throughput activity due to the Pacific acquisition and the completion of new capital projects.
 
Marketing operations adjusted segment profit of $75.0 million for the third quarter of 2007 represents an increase of 20% over the third-quarter 2006 adjusted results of $62.3 million reflecting an expanded asset base, improved margins in our lease gathering activities and the carryover effect of favorable market conditions experienced during the first half of 2007.
 
The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the third quarter of 2007 totaled 116.0 million (116.8 million diluted) as compared to 79.9 million (80.8 million diluted) in last year’s third quarter. At September 30, 2007, the Partnership had 116.0 million units outstanding, long-term debt of $2.6 billion and a long-term debt-to-total capitalization percentage of 43%.
 
On October 18, 2007, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.84 per unit ($3.36 per unit on an annualized basis) on its outstanding limited partner units. The distribution payable on November 14, 2007 represents an increase of 12.0% over the distribution paid in November 2006 and 1.2% over the distribution paid in August 2007. November’s distribution represents the fourteenth consecutive increase in quarterly distributions for the Partnership and the twenty-first increase in the last twenty-seven quarters.
 
The Partnership will furnish a current report on Form 8-K, which will include material in this press release and financial and operational guidance fourth quarter and full year 2007 as well as preliminary 2008 financial guidance. A copy of the Form 8-K will be 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 net income or cash flows from 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 and exchange rates, as well as 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 flows 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 tab.

(2) The aggregate of multiple systems in the West Texas/New Mexico area.
 
(3) In order to calculate total facilities activities volume add: (i) crude oil, refined products and LPG storage capacity; (ii) natural gas storage capacity divided by 6 to account for the 6:1 mcf of gas to crude oil barrel ratio; and (iii) LPG processing volumes multiplied by the number of days in the period and divided by 1,000 and the number of months in the period to convert to monthly capacity in millions.
