Columbia Pipeline Group (CPG) and Columbia Gas Transmission (TCO) are announcing non-binding open seasons for the proposed Leach XPress and Rayne XPress projects. The projects aim to transport gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale basins to markets via the TCO and Columbia Gulf pipeline systems. TCO is proposing to transport 1 to 1.5 Bcf/d of gas from receipt points in the Marcellus/Utica areas to the Leach hub or other delivery points on its system. Columbia Gulf is proposing to transport up to 1.2 Bcf/d of gas from Leach or Adair receipts to delivery points including ML Pool and Rayne. Shippers

Columbia Pipeline Group (“CPG”) is pleased to
announce another innovative solution that will
allow the growing Marcellus and Utica shale
production areas to access liquid trading
markets on the Columbia Gas (“TCO”) pipeline
system. As we continue to develop ways to
react to the constantly changing dynamics of
the shale basin activity, CPG will maintain its
competitive position by designing and
constructing another successful project linking
supply to end-use markets.
TCO is announcing a non-binding Open Season
to solicit interest in its Leach XPress Project
(“Project”) which is designed to facilitate the
transportation of production from Marcellus
and Utica shale supply basins for ultimate
delivery to Leach, TCO Pool or other mutually
agreeable receipts or deliveries. The Project’s
initial capacity will range between 1 Bcf/d to 1.5
Bcf/d with estimated transport rates between
$.35 to $.55 dependent upon shippers
requested receipt and delivery locations. A
phased in approach for the capacity will start as
early as November 1, 2016.
Shippers who 1) execute binding Precedent
Agreements no later than April 30, 2014 and 2)
commit to a minimum MDQ of 250,000 Dth/d
for a term of at least 15 years shall receive
anchor shipper status. Anchor shippers will
enjoy benefits such as contract extension rights,
limited proration exposure, proration rights for
deliveries to Gulf ML Pool, favorable cost
sharing terms and other benefits negotiated on
a not-unduly discriminatory basis.
TCO reserves the right to reject bids that
provide a contract term of less than 15 years.
This Open Season will begin:
1:00 PM CST, Tuesday December 3, 2013
And will close
4:00 PM CST, Friday January 10, 2014
To participate in this Open Season, interested
parties desiring firm transportation capacity in
the Project should complete an Open Season
Request Form (attached), with specific
attention to the primary term of service, service
commencement date, total firm capacity
requested, rate for service (as set forth herein)
and desired receipt and delivery point
combination prior to 4:00 PM CST on January
10, 2014.
After the close of this non-binding Open
Season, TCO will follow-up with interested
parties to determine next steps with respect to
development and construction of the Project.
TCO reserves the right to immediately negotiate
and enter into definitive agreements with
parties that participate in this Open Season and
may or may not elect to hold any further Open
Seasons related to the Project. Reponses from
this Open Season will be evaluated by TCO, and
TCO reserves the right to evaluate Leach XPress
and Rayne XPress requests together for
purposes of optimizing project economics and
use of capacity on a not unduly discriminatory
basis. Accordingly, Shippers wishing to take
capacity on both Projects must submit a request
for both Rayne XPress and Leach XPress. It is
anticipated that binding Precedent Agreements
will be executed with interested parties no later
than April 30, 2014.

3. Leach XPress
Columbia Gas Pipeline (TCO) is responding to
the incremental supply needs of the growing
Marcellus and Utica supply basins. The Leach
XPress Project is offering shippers three distinct
supply opportunities: (1) Market area 35
receipts – including but not limited to
Majorsville, Smithfield and Mobley; (2) Utica –
including options in Belmont, Monroe and
Noble counties, Ohio (3) WB receipts west of
the Seneca Compressor Station, and/or (4)
other mutually agreeable receipt locations.
The goal of the Leach XPress Project is to offer
shippers access to major markets ensuring them
consistent and reliable gas flows. These options
include Leach and TCO Pool. TCO may also
consider other mutually agreeable delivery
locations.

While the ultimate recourse rate will be a
function of the final project scope and definitive
agreements, indicative firm transportation rates
for transportation from various receipt areas
and deliveries herein are described below and
depend on the firm path(s) and subscription
levels under the Project.
Market Area 35 $.45 - $.55
Utica Receipts in Noble, Monroe and Belmont
Counties Ohio $.45 - $.55
WB Receipts west of the Seneca Compressor
Station $.35 - $.45
Actual rates will be determined upon a final
project scope and may vary among shippers, on
a not unduly discriminatory basis, depending
upon such factors as the receipt and delivery
points elected, contract term, and other
relevant factors.
In addition to the above indicated
transportation rates, which are inclusive of
CCRM, shippers will pay the applicable
surcharges and provide the applicable company
use and unaccounted for gas associated with
transportation under TCO’s FTS Rate Schedule
as provided in TCO’s then effective FERC Gas
Tariff.
TCO anticipates that binding Precedent
Agreements may contain a mechanism for each
party to receive a portion of the cost or benefit
resulting from final project costs.
TCO will evaluate bids based on the total impact
on Project economics as determined by TCO.
TCO reserves the right to reject and remove
from consideration non-conforming bids, bids
that have a delayed in-service requirement or
other contingencies, bids that require a contract
with a partial-year term, or fail to meet the
minimum terms set forth above with regards to
rate, contract term, or any other economic
criteria which could adversely affect the
economics or operational viability of the
Project. TCO reserves the right to define and
maintain the economic viability of the Project at
all times in its sole discretion, and TCO retains
the right to enter into negotiations during this
non-binding Open Season with those parties
who express interest in the Project.
Parties are responsible for securing their own
transportation arrangements on pipelines
upstream and downstream of the designated
receipt and delivery points.
These procedures and the attached Request
Form are provided solely to enable interested
parties to participate and attempt to obtain an
award of capacity. TCO’s decision to proceed
with the proposed Project is subject to TCO
receiving a level of binding transportation
subscriptions, that in its sole discretion, TCO
determines to be acceptable.
Moreover, and without limiting their scope in
any way, TCO also explicitly reserves the right to
(1) to conduct additional Open Seasons/reverse
Open Seasons; (2) to determine and/or re-
determine the size, scope, and cost of the
Project; (3) to not consider bids that do not
provide a sufficient level of detail to aid in the

5. Leach XPress
development of the proposed projects; (4) to
not consider bids that do not present CPG with
sufficient economic value and /or (5) to reject
or accept bids and/or material it received after
the close of this Open Season. TCO also
reserves the right to reject non-conforming
and/or contingent bids and bids from any party
that does not qualify for service in accordance
with all applicable provision of the pipelines’
respective FERC Gas Tariffs.
Existing Shippers on TCO desiring to turn back
capacity they believe may be used as a
substitute to constructing new facilities are
invited to fill out the non-binding Open Season
Request Form and advise TCO of their desire to
turn back capacity by checking the appropriate
space on the form. For those submitting a
proposal in the reverse open season, a
completed Open Season Request Form should
be completed and received prior to 4:00 PM
CST on December 23, 2013.
TCO will evaluate proposals from existing
shippers to turn back firm transportation
capacity under existing service agreements that
may reduce the amount of capacity for which
facilities would ultimately need to be modified.
However in TCO’s sole discretion, any capacity
turn back proposal(s) would have to be
compatible, economically accretive, and directly
offset facilities that TCO proposes to modify to
satisfy requests for capacity during the Open
Season.
