Discipline

De-risk the

Business

Maintain and

Balance Sheet

Strategically

Grow our Asset

Base

Targeting 20-25%+ IRR on growth capital

Utilize credit profile and liquidity to fund highly accretive projects at attractive rates of return

Current $600 million in expansions across all systems, majority of which are organic and above rate-of-return

target

Physically and Financially

Reduced gross-margin risk by shifting from keep-whole to percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts

Fee-based NGL transportation pipeline and long-term, fee-based gathering and processing contributes fixed-fee

cash flow with no direct commodity price exposure

Implement sound fiscal prudence – liquidity, leverage, capital, and distribution coverage

Deploying capital with low-cost revolving credit financing to spur organic expansion prior to realizing cash flows

Future expansions and potential acquisitions will be appropriately funded to maintain balance sheet strength

Organically and Opportunistically

Focusing on organic growth expansions and M&A opportunities in liquids rich or strategic areas with accretive

returns

Passed on many M&A opportunities to pursue more attractive organic expansions, as well as purchase of a 20%

interest in NGL transportation pipeline of strategic importance to WestTX system

As APL nears completion of current $600mm organic expansion program, Management is

evaluating opportunities to add further de-risked cash flows to the Partnership’s footprint at

compelling rates of return:

Additional gathering infrastructure and processing facilities in the Woodford Shale near

the Velma system

Expansion of WestOK system further into Kansas as Mississippi Lime play expands

Further expansion of WestTX system to facilitate Permian Basin production

Multiple acquisition opportunities for gathering & processing assets in existing operating

areas and other plays

Equity Investment / JV opportunities similar to WTLPG NGL pipeline

Potential gathering and/or processing opportunities associated with our affiliate Atlas

Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP)

Over $1 Billion in Opportunities Exist Beyond Current Expansions

Page 13: Atlas Pipeline Partners Barclays CEO Energy-Power Conference

Exxon / XTO gets serious about Woodford Play

Exxon/XTO has been accumulating

acreage for years around the Velma

system

Exxon/XTO has contracted for the full

60 mmcfd Velma expansion that has

recently come online in a 100% fee-

based deal for 10 years

Producer just bought additional

Cana/Woodford acreage from

Chesapeake on April 9, 2012 –

approximately 58,400 net acres

currently producing approximately 25

mmcfd. This increases their position in

the play to over 260,000 net acres.

Completed 31 wells in 2011 and expect

pace to increase in 2012 Source: ExxonMobil, Inc. 2012 earnings call transcripts

“We completed a strategic bolt-on

acquisition adding 58,000 of leasehold and

over 4,000 oil equivalent barrels per day of

production. This brings our total Woodford

Ardmore acreage to approximately 260,000 net

acres and expands our resource potential

beyond the 600 million oil equivalent barrels

previously estimated. - David Rosenthal,

Corporate Secretary, XOM

“We've got 8 rigs drilling liquids and 2

rigs drilling gas and were an early mover in the

Woodford on our part over the last year or so and

really looking forward to ramping up the activity

there.”

SandRidge & Others Focus on Mississippian Oil Play Shell a player in Mississippi Lime after purchasing ~ 200,000 acres

from Woolsey, another APL customer and is currently connecting

wells to APL system

SandRidge (NYSE: SD) developing Mississippian oil

play on KS-OK border; Horizontal drilling producing

better than expected results

Approximately $800mm to be spent by SD alone on development

in Mississippian in 2012

SD controls ~ 1.7mm net acres and sees in excess of 8,000

locations within play; CHK controls another ~ 2mm acres

Attractive rate of return at various commodity prices allows

sustainable development – Total cost for access to 1.7mm

acres was only approximately ~ $350mm

During 2Q 2012, SD increased Mississippian lime production 31%

Q-o-Q and 199% Y-o-Y with 33 rigs drilling 91 horizontal wells

“Mississippian economics are very

robust. You're looking at 456,000 barrels of oil

equivalent, $3.2 million per well. That includes

saltwater disposal infrastructure, IP at 375 barrels

of oil equivalent per day. The PV-10 on each well is

roughly $5.5 million, a 91% rate of return. ”

New Catalyst – Horizontal Wolfcamp Drilling

400,000 acres in play make PXD largest acreage

holder

Expecting 7 horizontal rigs in 2012, increasing to 10 in

2013

2 horizontal wells drilled in 4Q 2011, each with

excellent results

Results have shown 7x production versus vertical

wells at only 4x well cost (improved capital efficiency)

First two wells with 5,800 feet lateral and 30 stage frac

Expect future horizontals to be at ~7,000 feet

with 35 stage frac

PXD has stated publicly that Phase two at WestTX system

expansion will be online earlier than what APL has stated

given horizontal results

“We drilled our second successful

horizontal Wolfcamp Shale well, performing

exactly like the first well. Both wells are above

expectations. This will probably end up being one of

the largest oil shale plays in the U.S. We are the

largest acreage holder in that play with well over

400,000 acres.”

- Scott Sheffield, CEO, Pioneer

“After about 90 days, we've seen about

45,000 BOE of production in that [first horizontal

Wolfcamp] well. That's about 7x what we would

expect from a normal Spraberry vertical well over

that same 90-day period.”

100% Partnership at 3.4x total leverage for 2Q 2012, marginally above last

quarter (3.2x) and still below peer averages

Current $600mm in expansions being financed with current credit

facility, a benefit of strong and flexible balance sheet with low

leverage

Management team has indicated comfort level is about 3.5x total

leverage, but could trend upward to 4.0x during an expansion phase

which could be briefly reached from the current expansion program

until resulting incremental cash flows expect to deleverage the

Partnership back below 3.5x in 2013

APL Shifting to Less Contract Risk

Actively restructuring contracts to align with producers or reduce commodity exposure (fee-based or possible take-or-pay)

Continue to utilize risk management program to prevent margin deterioration (swaps and options where applicable)

Increased POP contracts better aligns producer and processor interests, lowers hedging costs, and increases hedging

effectiveness

Significant portion of POP and Keep-Whole contracts include a fixed-fee component, mitigating commodity sensitivity

Long-term NGL takeaway agreements in place to mitigate downstream risk; Converting to Mont Belvieu pricing allows for current

pricing upgrade and reduces basis risk for hedging activities
