Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:PPX) ("Pacific Energy" or the "Partnership") announced that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was $21.4 million, or $0.54 per limited partner unit, compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.40 per limited partner unit, for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Recurring net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $20.3 million, or $0.51 per limited partner unit compared to recurring net income of $12.2 million, or $0.40 per limited partner unit, for the corresponding period in 2005. All per unit amounts in the text of this news release are reported on a diluted basis. The increase in recurring net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, reflects the benefit of the September 30, 2005, acquisition of refined products terminals and a refined products pipeline from Valero L.P., increased margins from the crude oil marketing activities conducted by the Partnership's Pacific Marketing and Transportation subsidiary ("PMT"), higher crude oil pipeline deliveries to Bakersfield, California refineries, lower repair and maintenance costs associated with the California pipelines, and higher margins and increased volumes on the Rangeland pipeline system in Alberta, Canada. Partially offsetting these increases were higher interest expense attributable to the financing of the Valero L.P. acquisition and increased general and administrative costs. In addition, there were approximately 32% more units outstanding compared to the 2005 quarter. Recurring net income for the second quarter of 2006 excludes $3.4 million of transaction costs related to the recently announced merger with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("Plains"), expected to close later this year and a $4.6 million deferred tax benefit. Due to recent legislation, both federal and Alberta corporate tax rates in Canada are being reduced, and Pacific Energy's deferred tax liability balance is required by accounting rules to be adjusted to the new rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net income was $33.1 million, or $0.83 per limited partner unit, compared to $15.6 million, or $0.58 per limited partner unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $31.9 million, or $0.80 per limited partner unit, compared with $22.6 million, or $0.74 per limited partner unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Recurring net income for the first six months of 2006 reflects the benefit of six months of operations in 2006 from the assets acquired from Valero L.P., increased margins from crude oil marketing activities, increased volumes and higher margins for the Rangeland pipeline system, higher revenue due to increased Bakersfield refinery deliveries, and lower pipeline repair expenses in California. Partially offsetting these increases were increased interest and general and administrative expenses. In addition, there were approximately 32% more units outstanding in the first half of 2006 versus 2005. Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, excludes the previously mentioned merger costs and deferred tax benefit. Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, excludes a $2.0 million expense for the insurance deductible associated with the remediation of the Pyramid Lake oil release, a $3.1 million expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted units under Pacific Energy's long-term incentive plan as a result of the change in control attributable to the purchase of the Pacific Energy's general partner by LB Pacific, LP ("LB Pacific"), and $1.8 million of expense from this general partner transaction required to be recorded as a partnership expense, with the general partner's payment of it recorded as a capital contribution. "We are very pleased with our second quarter results. Our core transportation and storage business performed well and continued to grow. In addition the Partnership was able to realize the benefit of favorable marketing margins for both PMT and Rangeland, which enabled us to exceed previously announced guidance," stated Irv Toole, President and CEO of Pacific Energy. "Organic growth projects in each of our two business units continue to progress and remain a primary focus of the Partnership." On July 17, 2006, Pacific Energy announced a cash distribution of $0.5675 per unit for the second quarter of 2006, or $2.27 per unit annualized. This is unchanged from the first quarter 2006 distribution level but is 10.7% higher than the second quarter 2005 distribution level. The distribution will be paid on August 14, 2006, to holders of record as of July 31, 2006. Distributable cash flow available to the limited partners' interest for the second quarter of 2006 was $25.1 million after deducting $3.4 million in merger costs. On a diluted, weighted average basis, there were 39,314,000 limited partner units outstanding during the second quarter of 2006. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA") were $38.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, on August 14, 2006, 2,616,250 subordinated units owned by LB Pacific are expected to convert on a one-for-one basis to common units. The conversion of the subordinated units will not affect future cash distributions. OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT WEST COAST BUSINESS UNIT Operating income was $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $12.4 million in the corresponding period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the addition of the Northern California and East Coast terminals that were acquired on September 30, 2005, from Valero L.P., improved operating income from California pipeline operations, and increased margins from crude oil marketing activities. The Northern California terminals are operating at capacity, with 450,000 barrels of additional storage capacity currently under construction at Martinez. This storage is scheduled to be operational in the third quarter of 2006. Due to strong customer demand, Pacific Energy has increased its capital budget to provide for the construction of an additional 850,000 barrels of storage capacity at Martinez. It is projected that $1.0 million of this increase will be expended in 2006, with an additional $27.2 million expended in 2007 to complete the project. The East Coast terminals are also operating at capacity. East Coast terminal income increased due to the expansion of ethanol facilities, which began operations in the second quarter of 2006, and are expected to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the start up of ultra low sulfur diesel and jet fuel handling facilities. The impact of the long-haul pipeline volume decline in California was more than offset by tariff increases on Line 2000 and Line 63, lower repair and maintenance costs and a substantial increase in Bakersfield delivery volumes. Volumes transported to Los Angeles for the three months ended June 30, 2006, were approximately 10% lower than in the second quarter of 2005. The primary reasons for the reduction were natural production declines and a shift in some light crude oil volumes north to the San Francisco area. Partially offsetting this impact was a May 1, 2006 increase of $0.10 per barrel on Line 2000, a temporary surcharge of $0.10 per barrel on Line 63 long-haul movements that was implemented on August 1, 2005, to recover the costs of the Pyramid Lake oil release and other rain related damages experienced in the first quarter of 2005, and the absence of $1.4 million of rain related pipeline repair expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2005. In addition, deliveries to Bakersfield refineries more than doubled from the prior year's quarter as a result of pipeline modifications in the San Joaquin Valley that were completed on October 1, 2005, which increased delivery capacity to those refineries. The Partnership's crude oil marketing income in the second quarter of 2006 was significantly higher than in the prior year quarter. Favorable margins, crude oil contracts acquired on July 1, 2005, and increased crude oil volumes in the 2006 quarter contributed to the improvement. Income for the Pacific Terminals' subsidiary remained unchanged compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The reactivation of 300,000 barrels of storage at the Alamitos terminal, completed in July 2006, and reactivation of a second 300,000 barrel tank scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006, are expected to increase revenue in the second half of the year. The Partnership continues to advance the development of the Pier 400 deepwater import terminal in the Port of Los Angeles. During the quarter, efforts were focused on finalizing environmental mitigation factors with the Port of Los Angeles and the Partnership's customers. Due to the complexity of the environmental review process, the Partnership now expects to receive the permits necessary to begin construction mid-year 2007, and start-up is expected in the first quarter of 2009. As previously announced, the total investment is estimated at $315 million and provides for 4,000,000 barrels of storage capacity that will be constructed in two phases. Long term volume commitments have been signed by subsidiaries of Valero Energy Corporation and ConocoPhillips, and it is anticipated that, with additional customer commitments currently being finalized, the estimated 250,000 barrels per day of offloading capacity will be fully subscribed. ROCKY MOUNTAIN BUSINESS UNIT Operating income was $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $9.0 million in the corresponding period in 2005. The $6.4 million increase was primarily due to increased volumes on the Rangeland Pipeline, Western Corridor and Salt Lake City Core systems, income contribution from the Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline that was part of the Valero L.P. acquisition, and favorable crude oil marketing margins. In March 2006, the Partnership completed construction of its Edmonton, Alberta, initiating terminal, which provides direct access to synthetic crude oil for delivery through the Partnership's pipeline systems to U.S. Rocky Mountain refineries. During the second quarter of 2006, construction was also completed on additional tankage along this corridor to facilitate the movement of the synthetic crude oil. However, the transportation of synthetic crude oil was significantly lower than anticipated in the second quarter of 2006 due to maintenance shutdowns at two major synthetic crude oil facilities in Alberta. With these facilities now ramping up to full capacity, synthetic crude oil movements in the third quarter of 2006 are expected to increase. In the Rocky Mountain Business Unit, two major profit generating capital projects, the Salt Lake City pipeline project and the Cheyenne pipeline project, are proceeding on schedule and on budget. The first phase of the Salt Lake City pipeline is scheduled to be completed in December of 2006, and the second phase is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007. Total cost of the project is approximately $77 million and is supported by firm, 10-year transportation agreements with four Salt Lake City refiners. The Cheyenne pipeline is on schedule to be completed in the second quarter of 2007 at a cost of approximately $59 million and is supported by a firm ten year commitment by Frontier Oil and Refining Company to ship 35,000 barrels per day and lease approximately 300,000 barrels of storage capacity at Fort Laramie. CORPORATE ITEMS General and administrative expenses were $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2006, approximately $2.0 million higher than in the second quarter of 2005. This increase was associated with support of newly acquired assets, professional fees, and the cost of the LB Pacific option plan introduced in the first quarter of 2006, the cost of which is required by generally accepted accounting principles to be recorded as a Pacific Energy expense even though the plan is funded by LB Pacific, not the Partnership. Interest expense was $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, $4.2 million greater than in the comparable period in 2005, due to the increase in debt for the Valero asset acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 total capital spending was $42.5 million: $35.0 million was spent on expansion capital, $2.6 million was spent on sustaining capital (including $1.8 million in the second quarter), and $4.9 million was spent on transition capital. LOOKING FORWARD For the quarter ending September 30, 2006, Pacific Energy is forecasting recurring net income of $0.35 to $0.41 per unit and EBITDA of $34 million to $38 million. Sustaining capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2006 are expected to be $3 million to $4 million. For full year 2006, Pacific Energy is forecasting recurring net income of $1.58 to $1.68 per unit and EBITDA of $140 million to $146 million. Total capital expenditures for the full year are projected to be $162 million, including $148 million for expansion projects, $7 million for transition capital projects, and $7 million for sustaining capital projects. The guidance for recurring net income for the third quarter and full year 2006 does not include expenses related to the Plains merger transaction or the deferred tax benefit resulting from the change in Canadian tax rates. The guidance for EBITDA reflects $1.0 million and $6.5 million, for the third quarter and full year, respectively, of estimated Plains merger related expenses to be incurred prior to closing. For more information about these non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measures, see the schedules accompanying this press release. MERGER WITH PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. On June 12, 2006, Pacific Energy and Plains announced the signing of definitive agreements that provide for the merger of the two partnerships and Plains' acquisition of Pacific Energy's general partner. The partnerships recently announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, had expired on July 31, 2006. In addition, Plains has received a "no issues" letter from the Canadian Competition Bureau and notice that the accompanying waiting period under the Competition Act has expired. The completion of the transaction remains subject to the approval of unitholders of both partnerships as well as approvals of certain state utility commissions and the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada. All required filings have been submitted. This transaction is expected to close near the end of 2006. As a result of this pending transaction, the CEO search previously initiated by the Board of Directors of Pacific Energy's general partner has been terminated, and Irv Toole, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Energy, will continue to serve until management of the Partnership is assumed by Plains following the closing of the merger transaction.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL SCHEDULES (Unaudited) (Amounts in millions, except volume data) (1) On March 23, 2005, there was an oil release of approximately 3,400 barrels in northern Los Angeles County. Although this event involved an outlay of cash, we believe these costs are unusual and are not indicative of the Partnership's recurring earnings. (2) On June 12, 2006, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA"), pursuant to which we will be merged into PAA. PAA will acquire common units (except for common units purchased from LB Pacific, LP) of Pacific Energy through a tax-free unit-for-unit merger in which each unitholder of Pacific Energy will receive 0.77 newly issued PAA common units for each Pacific Energy common unit. Under the terms of a separate agreement, PAA will acquire from LB Pacific, LP and its affiliates ("LB Pacific") the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights of the Partnership as well as 2.6 million common units and 7.8 million subordinated units for a total of $700 million in cash. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred $3.4 million in professional fees and other costs directly related to the merger. (3) On March 3, 2005, in connection with a change in control of the Partnership's general partner, all restricted units outstanding under the Long-Term Incentive Plan immediately vested pursuant to the terms of the grants. The Partnership recognized compensation expense of $3.1 million relating to the accelerated vesting. Of this compensation expense, $0.6 million was considered operating expense and $2.5 million was general and administrative expense. (4) In 2005, our general partner reimbursed us $1.8 million for transaction costs incurred in connection with the change in control of our general partner. Generally accepted accounting principles require us to record an expense with the reimbursement shown as a partner's capital contribution. (5) During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized into earnings a $4.6 million deferred tax benefit to adjust our deferred tax liability for recently enacted reductions in the Canadian provincial and federal income tax rates. (6) See "General Partner and Limited Partners Allocation of Net Income" schedule included herein. (7) General and administrative expenses, merger costs, accelerated long-term incentive plan expense, reimbursed general partner transaction costs, net interest expense, other income and income tax expense are not allocated among the West Coast and Rocky Mountain business units. (8) The Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline was purchased on September 30, 2005. (9) In January 2006, LB Pacific, LP ("LBP"), the owner of our General Partner, granted options under its LBP Option Plan (the "Plan") to certain of our officers and key employees. Under the Plan, participants are granted options to acquire partnership interests in LBP. We are not obligated to pay any amounts to LBP for the benefits granted or paid to our officers and key employees under the Plan, although generally accepted accounting principles require that we record an expense in the Partnership's financial statements with a corresponding increase in the general partner's capital account. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, relating to the LBP Option Plan. (10)Recurring net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is used to more precisely compare year over year net income by eliminating one-time, non-recurring charges. You should not consider recurring net income as an alternative to net income, income before taxes, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our recurring net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities. (11)EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by management to assess (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis, (ii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness, (iii) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing and capital structure, and (iv) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. You should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to net income, income before taxes, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities. Additional information regarding EBITDA is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, EBITDA has been reduced by $3.4 million for costs directly related to the proposed merger with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, EBITDA has been reduced by $3.1 million of compensation expense relating to the accelerated vesting of our long term incentive compensation plan, $2.0 million of oil release costs and $1.8 million of general partner costs that was required by GAAP to be recorded in our income statement. There was no unusual impact on EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2005. (12)Distributable Cash Flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to make the minimum quarterly distribution and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. You should not consider Distributable Cash Flow as an alternative to net income, income before taxes, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities. Additional information regarding distributable cash flow is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. (13)In September 2005, we changed the presentation of Distributable Cash Flow. The previously reported amount of $36.2 million for Distributable Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2005 has been reduced by $2.0 million of oil release costs and $1.9 million of cash costs associated with the accelerated vesting of units. The change in presentation had no effect on the three months ended June 30, 2005. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Distributable Cash Flow has been reduced by $3.4 million for costs directly related to the proposed merger with Plain All American Pipeline, L.P. (14)The guidance for the three months ending September 30, 2006 and for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 are based on assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable given our assessment of historical trends, business cycles and other information reasonably available. However, our assumptions and future performance are both subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties so no assurance can be provided that actual performance will fall within the guidance ranges. Please see "Forward-Looking Statements" above. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other unforeseeable risks and uncertainties, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the table. This financial guidance is given as of the date hereof, based on information known to us as of August 1, 2006. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. (15)Recurring net income excludes $3.4 million of merger costs and a $4.6 million deferred tax benefit to adjust our deferred tax liability for recently enacted reductions in the Canadian provincial and federal income tax rates. (16)Included in the net income guidance for the year ended December 31, 2006 is forecast general and administrative expense of $23 million to $24 million. (17)Included for the year ended December 31, 2006 is forecast cash tax expense of $2.7 million and forecast deferred tax benefit of $0.4 million. *T
