Company Profile

Targa Resources Partners LP ("Targa Resources Partners" or the "Partnership") (NYSE: NGLS)

The Partnership is a leading provider of midstream natural gas and NGL services in the United States that was formed in October 2006 to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets. The Partnership is engaged in the business of gathering, compressing, treating, processing and selling natural gas and storing, fractionating, treating, transporting and selling NGLs and NGL products.

The Partnership operates in two primary divisions: (i) Natural Gas Gathering and Processing, consisting of two segments-(a) Field Gathering and Processing and (b) Coastal Gathering and Processing; and (ii) NGL Logistics and Marketing consisting of two segments-(a) Logistics Assets and (b) Marketing and Distribution.

The Natural Gas Gathering and Processing division includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this gathered raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by removing impurities and extracting a stream of combined NGLs or mixed NGLs (sometimes called Y-grade or raw mix). The Field Gathering and Processing segment assets are located in North Texas and in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. The Coastal Gathering and Processing segment assets are located in the onshore and coastal regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast accessing onshore and offshore gas supplies.

The NGL Logistics and Marketing division is also referred to as the Downstream Business. It includes the activities necessary to fractionate mixed NGLs into finished NGL products-ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline-and provides certain value added services, such as the storage, terminalling, transportation, distribution and marketing of NGLs. The assets in this segment are generally connected indirectly to and supplied, in part, by the Partnership's gathering and processing segments and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. The Marketing and Distribution segment covers all activities required to distribute and market mixed NGLs and NGL products. It includes (1) marketing and purchasing NGLs in selected United States markets; (2) marketing and supplying NGLs for refinery customers; and (3) transporting, storing and selling propane and providing related propane logistics services to multi-state retailers, independent retailers and other end users.

The Partnership's primary objective is to provide increasing cash distributions to our unitholders over time. Our business strategies focus on creating and increasing value for our unitholders through efficient operations, disciplined risk management and prudent growth through organic projects and acquisitions.
