This news release includes forward-looking statements. Although
Kinder Morgan believes that its expectations are based on reasonable
assumptions, it can give no assurance that such assumptions will
materialize. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein
are enumerated in Kinder Morgan's Forms 10-K and 10-Q as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

This press release contains statements that are not historical fact
and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When Sempra
Energy uses words like "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "estimates," "may," "would," "should" or similar expressions,
or when Sempra Energy discusses its strategy or plans, the company is
making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties
and assumptions. Future results may differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are necessarily based upon various assumptions involving
judgments with respect to the future and other risks, including, among
others: local, regional, national and international economic,
competitive, political, legislative and regulatory conditions and
developments; actions by the California Public Utilities Commission, the
California State Legislature, the California Department of Water
Resources, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other regulatory
bodies in the United States and other countries; capital markets
conditions, inflation rates, interest rates and exchange rates; energy
and trading markets, including the timing and extent of changes in
commodity prices; the availability of natural gas; weather conditions
and conservation efforts; war and terrorist attacks; business,
regulatory, environmental, and legal decisions and requirements; the
status of deregulation of retail natural gas and electricity delivery;
the timing and success of business development efforts; the resolution
of litigation; and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond the control of the company. These
risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the company's reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are available
through the EDGAR system without charge at its Web site, www.sec.gov
and on the company's Web site, www.sempra.com.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF
THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
statements that contain projections about our revenues, income, earnings
and other financial items, our plans and objectives for the future,
future economic performance, or other projections or estimates about our
assumptions relating to these types of statements. These
statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues,
earnings, business strategies, competitive position or other aspects of
our operations or operating results. In many cases you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "anticipate,"
"estimate," "believe," "continue," "could," "intend," "may," "plan,"
"potential," "predict," "should," "will," "expect," "objective,"
"projection," "forecast," "goal," "guidance," "outlook," "effort,"
"target" and other similar words. However, the absence of these
words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. The
forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations,
estimates and projections about ConocoPhillips and the petroleum
industry in general on the date this statement was released. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Further,
certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as to future
events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or
forecast in such forward-looking statements. Economic, business,
competitive and regulatory factors that may affect ConocoPhillips'
business are generally as set forth in ConocoPhillips' filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

ConocoPhillips is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any
such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
