Barnett Shale Gathering & Processing Update

21

New drilling activity & successful work-over programs offsetting existing well decline rates

•  Crestwood provides critical services to Quicksilver (KWK), Tokyo Gas and Eni under existing contracts in the Barnett

•  Receivable exposure closely monitored; approximately $6 million monthly net receivable exposure from KWK

•  Contract law precedent for existing contracts to stay in-tact under various ownership alternatives

•  Recent well completions show improved performance –  Texas Motor Speedway wells 30-day IP rate

~60% higher than average type curve –  Village Creek well with 25% higher 90-day IP

rate •  Well work-over program has reduced Barnett

decline rates

–  2014 volumes consistent with 2013 volumes –  < 5% volume decline rate expected in 2015

•  New incentive fee structure to drive further rich-gas development at Cowtown

•  Long term Gulf Coast storage fundamentals remain attractive

•  Conducted sales/JV process with strategic storage investors/customers in 3Q 2014

•  Transaction with a third-party could result in drop-down of the remaining interest to CMLP expected in 4Q 2014

•  Drop-down to CMLP provides continued CEQP exposure to the upside through IDRs

•  Contemplated structure to improve near-term results and better position to capture current and long term business development opportunities

•  Recent Lodi and Cardinal storage transactions at $3.4 MM to $4.2 MM per Bcf of working capacity indicate potential Tres Palacios valuation of $120 MM to $160 MM

Tres Palacios Storage & Pipeline Update

LNG Exports Expected to Avg 9.1 Bcf/d in 2020

Freeport ~2.0 Bcf/d

Strategic Process Update Exports to Mexico to Grow to 4.0 Bcf/d by 2019
