SemGroup Energy Partners, L.P. ("SGLP") (Pink Sheets: SGLP) today
announced that it has completed the execution of additional asphalt
storage contracts or leases related to its asphalt facilities with
various counterparties. As a result, SGLP now has 45 of its 46 total
asphalt facilities under a storage contract or lease agreement.
Jerry Parsons, Executive Vice President – Asphalt Operations said, "The
contracting of our facilities has required a significant coordinated
effort and the execution of these additional contracts essentially
completes the task to get our asphalt facilities under contract. We now
have agreements with 13 counterparties for our asphalt facilities with
terms primarily extending through December 31, 2011. "
As previously mentioned, SGLP will operate the facilities under the
storage agreements and the contract counterparties will operate the
facilities under the lease agreements. SGLP will receive storage fees or
lease payments as applicable from the new counterparties. The revenues
that SGLP will receive pursuant to these leases and storage agreements
will be less than the revenues previously received under the
Terminalling and Storage Agreement with SemGroup, L.P.
