ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE . . . . . . . Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SFL) announced fourth quarter net income of $21.9 million, or $1.10 per unit, 10 percent above net income of $19.9 million, or $1.01 per unit, for the same period last year, excluding charges in the current quarter totaling $4.3 million for potential FERC reparations and costs associated with the proposed sale of the Partnership to Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. and a $15 million litigation provision recorded in 1996. Including the charges, fourth quarter net income was $17.7 million, or $0.89 per unit. For the year ended December 31, 1997, net income, excluding litigation provisions and transaction costs totaling $10.3 million, was $79.4 million, or $4.01 per unit, 7 percent above net income of $74.5 million, or $3.76 per unit in 1996, excluding litigation provisions totaling $23 million. Including the provisions and costs, net income for 1997 was $69.4 million, or $3.51 per unit. The fourth quarter charges included $2.0 million to reflect potential reparations for the quarter, consistent with the Administrative Law Judge's Initial Decision issued in September 1997, in the rate proceeding at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission challenging the Partnership's rates for transportation of refined petroleum products to Arizona from El Paso, Texas and Los Angeles, California. In addition, $2.3 million was recorded to reflect fourth quarter costs associated with the proposed sale of the Partnership to Kinder Morgan. The Partnership also announced a cash distribution of 75 cents per unit for the fourth quarter of 1997. The distribution is payable February 13, 1998 to unitholders of record as of January 30, 1998. Fourth quarter revenues of $61.8 million and total year revenues of $244.4 million both exceeded the respective prior year periods by 2 percent. Total volumes delivered during the fourth quarter were essentially even with deliveries in the prior year quarter. For the year, volumes delivered exceeded one million barrels per day for the first time, 1 percent above 1996 deliveries. Volume growth was achieved in virtually all commercial markets served by the Partnership, with the 2 percent commercial growth rate tempered by reduced short haul deliveries to certain Northern and Southern California locations. Military volumes were lower at most facilities, with a significant reduction in San Francisco Bay Area deliveries attributed to a change in military supply sources. Excluding provisions and charges, fourth quarter operating expenses of $31.7 million were essentially even with the prior year quarter and total year operating expenses of $130.1 million increased less than 1 percent above 1996, with higher field operating expenses offset by lower legal expenses and facilities costs. Capital expenditures were $10.1 million for the fourth quarter and $24.9 million for the year. Capital expenditures in 1996 totaled $27.7 million. Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline Partners, L.P. is one of the largest independent refined petroleum products pipelines in the United States. The Partnership serves six Western states with approximately 3,300 miles of common carrier pipeline and 13 truck loading terminals. * * * SANTA FE PACIFIC PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.

[LOGO] CAROL HASKINS (713) 844-9500 DEBRA LAUDEN (713) 844-9500 WWW.ENPNET.COM KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. INCREASES QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION TO $.5625; FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME INCREASES BY 43% FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1998 HOUSTON -- Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: "ENP") today reported a 43 percent increase in fourth quarter 1997 net income to $7.69 million, compared to 1996 fourth quarter net income of $5.39 million. Net income for all of 1997 was $17.74 million, compared to $11.9 million for 1996, an increase of 49 percent. The results for 1996 included a non-recurring gain of $2.5 million, attributable to Chevron's buyout of certain utilizations at the Painter, Wyoming processing facility. The company also announced an increase in its quarterly distribution from $.50 to $.5625 per unit, effective with the distribution for the fourth quarter, payable on February 17, 1998 to unitholders of record as of January 31, 1998. After accounting for the general partner's incentive distribution, net income per unit was $.41, equivalent to the fourth quarter of 1996. For the year, net income per unit increased to $1.02 from $.90 in 1996. Revenues for the quarter were $21.38 million compared to $23.73 million in the fourth quarter of 1996. 1301 McKinney Suite 3450 Box 67 Houston, Texas 77010 713/844-9500 713/844-9571 FAX "We are very pleased with our results for the fourth quarter and full year 1997, which significantly improved over the same periods of 1996 and constitute the highest net income in the history of the company," said Richard D. Kinder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kinder Morgan. "We have reevaluated our quarterly distribution level and are pleased to raise it to an annual indicated level of $2.25 from $2.00, a 12.5% increase. This increase is the third in the past year and reflects our continuing growth in cash flow and earnings, as well as management's confidence that this growth will continue." Progress on our proposed acquisition of the assets of Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline Partners, L.P. has been excellent", said Kinder. "We expect to receive all required regulatory approvals by the end of January, and to mail proxies to both sets of unitholders within the next few days setting unitholder meetings to approve the merger approximately 20 business days thereafter." "For the full year 1997, all of our continuing businesses showed increased earnings," said Kinder. "Our coal terminals increased their net earnings by 81 percent, primarily as a result of increased volumes and the addition of the Grand Rivers Terminal. Our coal services business unit, Red Lightning, also contributed positive earnings as we continue to expand the services we offer our customers. Earnings on our Central Basin CO(2) Pipeline increased by 16 percent, with the increase driven by higher throughput. Increased throughput on our Cypress pipeline, due to the impact of our 25,000 barrel per day expansion which came on-line in late November, led to an increase in earnings of 9 percent for that unit. Earnings on the North System increased by 3 percent with higher average tariffs more than offsetting a slight decline in throughput. Our cost reduction efforts continue to be successful, with 1997 operation and maintenance and general and administrative costs down by $4.1 million, or 15 percent, notwithstanding higher volumes on most of our assets." "Earnings from our interest in the Mt. Belvieu fractionator increased by 13 percent. The fractionator results include benefits associated with the liquidation of the corporate entity holding Kinder Morgan's interest in this asset, offset in part by a reserve established for a contested product loss at the fractionator. Future fractionator results will also be favorably impacted by this elimination of a layer of corporate income tax," said Kinder. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., which has an enterprise value of over $600 million, owns and operates two interstate common carrier natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline systems, one carbon dioxide (CO(2)) pipeline system, and two modern high speed rail-to-barge coal transfer facilities; and also owns an indirect interest in an NGL fractionator. On October 20, 1997, Kinder Morgan announced a definitive agreement to purchase all of the assets of Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline Partners, L.P. for in excess of $1 billion, forming the largest pipeline MLP in the United States. THIS PRESS RELEASE INCLUDES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934. ALTHOUGH THE PARTIES BELIEVE THAT THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE BASED ON REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS THEY CAN GIVE NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH ASSUMPTIONS WILL MATERIALIZE. KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
