TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS RECORD RESULTS
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2006

HOUSTON — TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported net income of $41.1 million, or $0.39 per unit for the third quarter of 2006, compared with net income of $29.6 million, or $0.30 per unit, for the third quarter of 2005.  Net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2006, was $145.5 million, or $1.43 per unit, compared with $117.9 million, or $1.25 per unit, for the same period in 2005.  Net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2006, includes a $17.9 million gain on the sale of the Pioneer gas processing plant, which occurred on March 31, 2006.  Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2006, which excludes the impact of the sale of the Pioneer gas processing plant, was $126.1 million, or $1.24 per unit, compared with $115.2 million, or $1.22 per unit for the corresponding nine-month period in 2005.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations increased by 18 percent, or $15.1 million, to a record $101.6 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $86.5 million for the third quarter of 2005.  EBITDA from continuing operations increased by 7 percent, or $18.8 million, to $298.5 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2006, compared with $279.7 million for the same 2005

period.  EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined and reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure later in this news release.

“In terms of EBITDA, each of our operating segments not only recorded improved quarterly results, but combined to produce the best third quarter in the partnership’s history,” said Jerry E. Thompson, TEPPCO president and chief executive officer.  “We believe TEPPCO is well on its way to reporting an annual record for EBITDA from continuing operations for 2006.”

“The performance of our Upstream segment was particularly noteworthy,” Thompson added, “as its strong 2006 performance continued, benefiting from increased marketing volumes and rates.  Results of the Midstream segment were highlighted by increased volumes from the Jonah natural gas gathering system.  The next expansion now under way on the Jonah system is expected to ultimately increase capacity on the system from 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) to 2.4 Bcf/d by the end of 2007.  Overall, our Downstream segment recorded stable volumes and benefited from higher average tariff rates and lower operating expenses in the third quarter of 2006.”

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Upstream segment

The Upstream segment includes transportation, storage, gathering and marketing of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals.

EBITDA from continuing operations for the Upstream segment increased 48 percent to $28.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $19.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.  The increase in EBITDA resulted primarily from improved marketing

margins, attributable to favorable market conditions and a greater percentage of transportation volumes to higher tariff locations.  Operating expenses also decreased from the prior year period, primarily due to lower maintenance costs and higher product measurement gains.  Total crude oil volumes marketed increased 6 percent to 630,000 barrels per day (bpd) for the third quarter of 2006, compared with 595,000 bpd for the same quarter in 2005.  Transportation volumes were 252,000 bpd for the third quarter of 2006, compared with 258,000 bpd for the third quarter of 2005.

TEPPCO’s pro-rata share of EBITDA in Seaway Crude Pipeline, which is included in Upstream EBITDA, was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the terms of the Seaway partnership agreement whereby TEPPCO’s participation ratio in Seaway’s earnings decreased from 60 percent to 40 percent, effective May 2006 (on a pro-rated basis, the average rate for 2006 is 47 percent), and decreased transportation volumes.  Long-haul volumes on Seaway averaged 239,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2006, compared with 296,000 bpd in the same quarter of 2005, which benefited from higher transportation demand in the 2005 period as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  The lower transportation revenues on Seaway were partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Midstream segment

The Midstream segment includes natural gas gathering services and storage; transportation; and fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGLs).

EBITDA from continuing operations for the Midstream segment was $40.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 8 percent from $37.8 million of EBITDA for the third quarter of 2005.  The increase was primarily due to increased gathering volumes on the Jonah system resulting from the completion of the Phase IV expansion in early 2006.

Natural gas gathering volumes on the Jonah system increased 13 percent to approximately 1.3 Bcf/d in the third quarter of 2006, compared with approximately 1.15 Bcf/d in the third quarter of 2005.  The increase in EBITDA for the quarter was partially offset by higher expenses for pipeline imbalance valuations and maintenance costs on the Val Verde system.  Natural gas gathering volumes on the Val Verde system were 489 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) in the third quarter of 2006, compared with 503 MMcf/d in the third quarter of 2005.

As previously announced, effective Aug. 1, 2006, TEPPCO formed a new joint venture with Enterprise Products Partners L.P., which acquired an interest in Jonah Gas Gathering Company through an affiliate.  As a result of the formation of the joint venture, Jonah will be accounted for under the equity method and has been deconsolidated in TEPPCO’s financial statements and operating results since Aug. 1, 2006.  The joint venture is currently constructing the Phase V expansion on the Jonah system which is expected to increase capacity in the Jonah and Pinedale fields to 2.4 Bcf/d and reduce wellhead pressures in order to increase production rates and maximize the recovery of reserves.  The Jonah/Pinedale area has provided a consistent stream of expansion projects for the partnership and is one of the six major growth initiatives TEPPCO is currently pursuing.

The high level of drilling and development activity in the Jonah/Pinedale area should bode well for the future of TEPPCO’s interest in Jonah Gas Gathering Company. At the same time, the overall high level of activity in the greater Green River Basin area has strained locally available resources, including equipment and qualified personnel. Coupled with rising steel costs, these factors are likely to contribute to higher overall costs than previously anticipated for the Jonah expansion.  TEPPCO expects to fund roughly half of the Phase V expansion.

Downstream segment

The Downstream segment includes the transportation and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals.

EBITDA from continuing operations for the Downstream segment increased 10 percent to $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $29.6 million for the third quarter of 2005.  The increase was primarily due to a higher average tariff rate on overall refined products transportation volumes, increased storage revenue related to the assets acquired from Texas Genco in 2005 and other systems, and lower property tax expense and general administrative expense in 2006.  These increases in EBITDA were partially offset by increased operating expenses.  Transportation volumes increased 2 percent to approximately 574,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2006, compared with approximately 562,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2005.

The partnership’s pro-rata share of EBITDA from unconsolidated investments (principally Centennial Pipeline and Mont Belvieu Storage Partners), which is included in total Downstream segment EBITDA, was $2 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2005.  TEPPCO’s pro-rata share of EBITDA in Centennial Pipeline was a loss of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to income of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease was primarily attributable to increased pipeline integrity expenses and lower transportation volumes.  The partnership’s pro-rata share of EBITDA in Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, which is in the process of being divested pursuant to an order and consent agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease was primarily due to product measurement losses in the 2006 period.

Thompson added, “I am pleased to report that in addition to our Jonah expansion, we have several attractive initiatives currently under development in our Upstream and Downstream segments.  These developing projects, which include the recently announced acquisition of the Mississippi terminal, are consistent with the new strategic plan that we unveiled at our August analyst conference.  We expect these projects to enhance our ability to increase the partnership’s distributable cash flow and to add value for our unitholders.”

CAPITALIZATION AND LIQUIDITY

Total debt outstanding at Sept. 30, 2006, was approximately $1.5 billion, with liquidity of approximately $331 million available under TEPPCO’s $700 million credit facility.

2006 OUTLOOK

Based on results during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2006, and projections for the fourth quarter, the partnership expects EBITDA for the full year of 2006, excluding the results from discontinued operations, to remain in the range of $400 million to $420 million.  Net income per unit is expected to remain in the range of $1.65 to $1.85 per unit, excluding the results of discontinued operations, which reflect the increase in the weighted average number of units outstanding resulting from the new units issued in July 2006.

TEPPCO currently anticipates that total capital expenditures for 2006 will be approximately $195 million, which will include approximately $160 million for organic growth projects and system upgrades.  Maintenance capital expenditures for 2006 are expected to be $35 million, which includes $19 million for pipeline integrity.  Additionally, TEPPCO expects to invest approximately $125 million in 2006 for its share of capital expenditures related to the Jonah Phase V expansion.

SPECIAL UNITHOLDER MEETING

On Oct. 26, 2006, TEPPCO convened its previously announced special unitholder meeting to vote on proposals presented in the proxy statement dated Sept. 5, 2006. During the meeting, TEPPCO’s general partner, Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC, exercised its right to adjourn the meeting and reconvene on Nov. 30, 2006.  No vote was taken on the proposals due to the lack of a quorum.  The reconvened meeting will be held at 1 p.m. CST at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 1200 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include references to EBITDA, which may be viewed as a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense — net, deferred income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and a pro-rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint venturesWe have included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe EBITDA is used by our investors as a supplemental financial measure in the evaluation of our business.  A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights table.

We believe EBITDA provides useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis.  As a result, EBITDA provides investors with a helpful measure for comparing the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.  EBITDA multiples are also used by our investors in assisting in the valuation of our limited partners’ equity.  EBITDA should not

 (more)

be considered as an alternative to net income or income from continuing operations, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA of other entities because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.

Information in the accompanying Operating Data table includes margin of the Upstream segment, which may also be viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC.  Margin is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil.  We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed.  Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities being evaluated.  A reconciliation of margin to operating income is provided in the Operating Data table accompanying this earnings release.  TEPPCO will host a conference call related to earnings performance at 8 a.m. CST on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2006.  Interested parties may listen live over the Internet or via telephone by dialing (800) 474-8920, confirmation code 1647520.  Please call five to 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.  To participate live over the Internet, log on to the company’s web site at www.teppco.com.

An audio replay of the conference call will also be available for seven days by dialing (888) 203-1112, confirmation code 1647520.  A replay and transcript will also be available by accessing the company’s web site.
