Refinery Details

Cheyenne1. 52,000 BPD Crude Capacity2. Designed for Heavy Sour Crude feed stocks3. Pipeline feed point is Guernsey, WY

New Guernsey to Cheyenne Pipeline

• Suncor system from Guernsey to Cheyenne has been seasonally full for years.

• Pipeline limitations forced a diet of trucked crudes (incrementally DJ Condensate and Nebraska Sweet) to keep refinery full.

• Explored concept of expanding capacity .• Ultimately signed contract with Rocky Mountain Pipeline to

construct a new line.– 10 yr. commitment to ship– $50MM+ project– March 31st, 2006 Contract, ~June 1st, 2007 Startup (14 Months!)– 16”, 2 pump station– ~50,000 BPD (350 CST) startup capacity (Expandable)

Frontier’s Gasoil “Opportunity”

• Frontier currently rails/trucks ~2,000 BPD of gasoil to El Dorado, KS

• Volume will be higher due to a Coker expansion which will be complete in 2007.

• Future transportation costs, $10,000,000+/yr, can base load a pipeline from Cheyenne to El Dorado

New Pipeline from Cheyenne to El Dorado

• 500 miles, Capital Cost $300MM+

• Resulting annual payment (tariff) for capital recovery alone is $40-$45MM.

• Startup ~24 months from signed contract

• 30,000 BPD capacity on low viscosity crude

• Frontier will make 20+ year commitment to the pipeline company in order to lower their risk and the resulting tariff.

• To open the line, Frontier must sign supply agreements to lock in acceptable differentials for a period of time (5+ years) after the pipeline is in service.

• Differentials will be set off WTI or WTS, depending on crude type.

• Targeting 20,000 BPD.

• Producer/supplier can deliver volumes to Frontier at Guernsey, Cheyenne, or possibly in the D.J. Basin.

Timeline

• Expect pipeline final estimate, timeline, and contract ready by January 2007.

• In early November, will begin more formal negotiations with interested suppliers.

• Will initially concentrate on larger, 5,000+ BPD producers.

• In December, will open up to any interested parties

• If sufficient supply contracts are not obtained , Frontier will not proceed with the pipeline contract.
