Ozark Gas Transmission − 565-mile
FERC-regulated pipeline running from
Oklahoma to Missouri, 2 compressor
stations
Ozark Gas Gathering − 370-mile nonFERC-regulated natural gas gathering
system, 11 compressor stations
Increasing capacity from 322 to 450

Accesses prolific Arkoma Basin and
developing Fayetteville Shale
Growth Initiatives
Acquisition Growth
Successfully completed four acquisitions totaling over $585 million in the last three years
Velma system acquired for $142 million in July 2004
Elk City system acquired for $196 million in April 2005
NOARK system acquired in two separate transactions for a total of $249 million; 75% interest
acquired in October 2005; remaining 25% interest acquired in May 2006
Organic Growth
120MMcf/d Sweetwater gas processing plant opened September 2006; total cost of
$40MM
Currently operating at volumes over 90MMcf/d
Expanding gathering system and adding 60 MMcf/d of processing capacity at
Sweetwater; expected completion by early 2008
Throughput expansion on NOARK by increasing compression; targeted completion by
early 2008
Capacity to increase up to 450MMcf/d; total cost ~ $20-30 million
Continued Appalachian system growth driven by Atlas Energy Resources’ traditional
drilling activity and additional potential growth from exploitation of deeper shale plays and
other geological formations within their existing acreage position

NOARK Pipeline System Overview
High quality FERC-regulated transmission system
Adds stable, fee-based cash flows and reduces risk profile
Provides substantial upside without significant capital expenditure requirements
NOARK pipeline diversifies existing APL business and expands footprint
Expands Mid-Continent natural gas gathering and transportation position
Facilitates additional bolt-on opportunities
Unregulated gathering business
Separation of regulated and non-FERC-regulated assets provides growth opportunity
APL gathering expertise expected to enhance growth
Strategic location provides access to significant natural gas supply
Mid-Continent Region
Arkoma Basin
Fayetteville Shale – growing production area
Compression expansion project
Added compression will increase throughput capacity up to 450MMcfd

Gathering & Processing Overview
Velma Highlights
1,900 miles of pipelines in Oklahoma and Texas
100 MMcf/d processing plant capacity
For the quarter ended ended 9/30/06, processed approximately 58.3 MMcf/d of natural gas and
approximately 6,600 Bbls/d of NGLs
Geographically positioned to benefit from rapidly growing Barnett Shale and
Woodford Shale plays
Revenue from purchases of natural gas at the wellhead and sales of
processed gas and NGLs
Gas supply secured under long-term contracts
Throughput growth driven by system expansions and improved compression
8
Gathering & Processing Overview
Elk City Highlights
Elk City system provides gathering, compression, treating and processing
services in the Anadarko Basin
Stepped-up drilling activity in the region has increased system gas volumes over 100% since
2002, from 139 MMcf/d to over 284 MMcf/d currently
Supplied by over 300 gas receipt points
System can be enhanced through low-cost system extensions to areas of
drilling activity
Location near active drilling area
Access to prolific Anadarko basin
Drilling rig count in Oklahoma increased over 95% since 2002
Potential for additional well-connects

Appalachia Recent Developments
Atlas Energy Resources recently announced that during the fourth quarter of
2006 and first quarter of 2007 it plans to drill 3 wells to multiple pay zones,
including the Marcellus Shale of Southwestern Pennsylvania
Atlas Energy Resources believes it holds over 160,000 acres of prospective
Marcellus acreage in three counties
This shale play represents significant throughput potential for Atlas Pipeline
Partners
Industry banter of vertical type-well EUR of “600 to 1,000 MMcfe” within our
range of expectations
Atlas Energy Resources is planning six to ten additional wells in 2nd and 3rd
quarters; potentially a 40+ vertical well development schedule in 4th quarter
2007 and 1st quarter 2008
