initially, to deliver natural gas into it for commissioning purposes) 
at a new interconnect that will be located near Dennis Gahagan Survey,

construct two 24-inch taps, approximately 0.4 miles of 24-inch pipe, 
and appurtenances, on its Louisiana No. 1 and No. 2 Lines to receive 
the re-vaporized gas. Golden Pass will install and own four 12-inch

and other related equipment. The proposed facilities will provide 
Natural with a new receipt interconnect and allow Golden Pass to 
deliver up to 900 MMcf/day. The estimated cost of the project is 
approximately $2.5 million, and all costs associated with the project 
will be reimbursed by Golden Pass. The proposed in-service date for the 
interconnect facilities is September 1, 2008.
