Exhibit 99.2

October 24, 2011

Dear SemGroup Employees:

As you may have seen, today SemGroup issued a press release announcing that it had rejected an unsolicited proposal made on October 6, 2011 by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., to acquire the Company for $24.00 per share in cash.

After talking with our independent financial and legal advisors, SemGroup’s Board of Directors previously determined that the proposal substantially undervalued the Company and its future prospects. A copy of the press release we issued this morning is attached.

It’s business as usual for all of us at SemGroup. The best way you can help is by remaining focused on serving our customers and continuing to execute safely on our business goals.

I know that you will have a number of questions regarding what this may mean going forward. While there is little additional information to share at this time, we will keep you updated as events progress.

This announcement may lead to inquiries from external parties, and it is important for us to speak with one voice. Consistent with our existing policy, please forward all investor calls to Alisa Perkins at 918-524-8130 aperkins@semgroupcorp.com and media calls to Liz Barclay at 918-524-8158 lbarclay@semgroupcorp.com.

We are committed to doing what is in the best interests of SemGroup and our shareholders, and we have the right resources and expertise in place to preserve the shareholder value that you have worked so hard to build. On behalf of the Board and management team, I thank you for your continued hard work, focus and commitment to SemGroup.

Sincerely,

Norm
