TU LSA, O kla . - Williams (NYSE:WMB) announced today that it has signed a long-term agreement to produce

15,000 barrels per day (bpd) of ethane and ethvtene for NOVA Chemicals Corp. (NYSE,TSX: NCX) in Alberta,Canada.

5. Williams plans to invest CA$311 million to expand its two primary facilities in Alberta to support the newagreement. The expansions, which are expected to begin operating in first-quarter 2013, will allow the companyto produce ethane and ethylene from its operations that process off-gas from the Alberta oi l sands.

6. Fort McMurray, Redwater Facilities to be Expanded7. The expansions involve modifying and upgrading two facilities. Williams will modify its oil sands off-gas extraction

plant near Fort McMurray, Alberta, and construct a de-ethanizer at its Redwater natural gas liquids INGL)/oiefinsfractionation facility near Edmonton, Alberta.

8. The upgrades at Fort McMurray will allow Williams to include ethane and ethylene in the NGL/olefins mixturethat the company extracts from the off-gas and delivers to Redwater for fractionation.

9. The new de-ethanizer at Redwater will then enable Williams to produce approximately 15,000 bpd of anethane/ethylene mix. This will add to its current production of approximately 14,000 bpd of a heavier NGL/olefinsmixture t hat includes propa ne, propylene, buta ne, butyle nes and condensate

10. Under the terms of the new customer agreement, Williams will deliver the newly produced ethane and ethyleneto NOVA Chemicals' Joffre, Alberta, manufacturing facility, utilizing the Joffre Feedstock Pipeline.

11. "These expansions will add incremental ethane supplies in Alberta, which are high-demand products for thepetrochemical industry in Canada," said Rory Miller, president of Williams' midstream business. "It's a significantgrowth opportunity for our Canadian midstream business, as we're uniquely positioned as the only company withoff-gas experience and facilities in the region.

12. "The new operations will also further reduce greenhouse gas and sulphur dioxide emissions from the oil sandsoperations," Miller said.

B. The Government of Alberta recently modified the Incremental Ethane Extraction Program to provide incentivesfor the extraction of ethane from the oil sands in order to bring new supplies of secure, long-term ethanefeedstock to Alberta's petrochemical industry.

21. Williams is currently constructing a 261mile (420 km}, 12-inch NGL pipeline from its Fort McMurray extractionfacility to its Redwater fractionator. The pipeline is designed to support the company's growing business inCanada.

22. The pipeline will have a capacity of 43,000 bpd of off-gas NGL/olefins and is expected to be placed into service inApril 2012. The installation of additional pump stations in the future would enable Williams to increase capacityon the pipeline to 125,000 bpd.

G o v e r n m e n to f A lb e rta N e w s r e l e a s eBuilding a better Alberta

March 23,2011Alberta to expand ethane incentiveEthane extraction during bitumen upgrading to reduce greenhouse gasemissions and boost value-added productionEdmonton ... A program to increase extraction of ethane to support continued growth ofAlberta's petrochemical sector is being expanded.Initially designed to encourage extraction of ethane from natural gas, the revisions will helpencourage more ethane extraction from off-gases that result from bitumen refining orupgrading.Capturing these off-gases, which are the result of converting bitumen to synthetic crude oil,will reduce greenhouse gas emissions."Alberta's petrochemical industry is the largest in Canada," said Energy Minister RonLiepert. "It depends on ongoing availability of competitively priced ethane to remain viable."The sector employs 7,500 Albertans and helps to diversify the labour market as well as addvalue to Alberta's economy, with annual shipments of almost $9.2 billion and exports ofmore than $5.4 billion in 2009.Using off-gases for value-added production can reduce emissions from the oil sands by upto one million tonnes annually. "That is equal to about 10 per cent of Alberta's currentreduction obligation under the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation" said Liepert. "Using off-gases in value-added production further reduces the environmental footprint of Alberta's oilsands operations."

The program requires petrochemical companies to submit an application to Alberta Energyfor credits that can be applied to specific projects, including details and a supportingbusiness case. The ethane that is produced must be used for value-added upgrading inAlberta (e.g. consumed by petrochemical companies). Ethane that is exported or used inenhanced oil recovery is not eligible for credits.Capture of significant volumes of off-gases can provide a broader range of feedstocks todiversify the types of petrochemicals manufactured in Alberta. Ethane is a feedstock used tomake ethylene which is then used to manufacture petrochemical derivatives such asethylene glycol, styrene and linear tow-density polyethylene. Examples of products include

film, moulding, wire and cable, flooring, plastics, detergents, synthetic lubricants, and cable.The five-year Incremental Ethane Extraction Program was approved by government andreleased publicly on September 29, 2006. The program is being extended for an additionalfive years with no new funding. Approximately $310 million of the original $350 millionremains in the program. The program is a royalty credit program whereby fractionationcredits are provided to petrochemical companies consuming incremental ethane for value-added upgrading in Alberta (such as ethylene and derivatives).The program was expanded by Alberta Energy in collaboration with industry and the AlbertaCompetitiveness Council Petrochemical/Chemical Task Team, co-chaired by Lacombe-Ponoka MLA Ray Prins and industry representative Val Mirosh. In reviewing sectors like thepetrochemical industry, the Competitiveness Council looked at a variety of factors crucial tosuccess, including productivity, innovation) taxes and fiscal policy, regulation, transportationand infrastructure, labour force development and access to capital markets.'These changes to the Incremental Ethane Extraction Program will encourage industry tomake the large capital investments in Alberta required to increase the supply of feedstockfor our petrochemical industry," said Val Mirosh, co-chair of the petrochemical/chemical taskteam and former Vice-President of Nova Chemicals.

Incremental Ethane Extraction Program overviewThe Incremental Ethane Extraction Program is designed to:

encourage value-added upgrading in Alberta; address the tight supply of ethane in Alberta and help to fill existing petrochemicalcapacity; encourage new investment in ethane extraction facilities; and attract new investment in petrochemical derivative plants.

The credit value for ethane or ethylene from natural gas remains unchanged at $1.80 perbarrel. Recognizing that off-gas capture from bitumen upgrading or refining including ethaneor ethylene delivers a significant environmental benefit and is considerably more capitalintensive than conventional ethane, the credit value for off-gas ethane is set at $5.00 perbarrel.The credit is owned by the firm that consumes the ethane or ethylene and can be sold toeither a natural gas or bitumen royalty payer to be applied against their royalty obligation.For a company to qualify for fractionation credits, it must be a company that is or will be anowner in a facility located in Alberta that consumes ethane or ethylene as feedstock.Fractionation credits only apply to ethane/ethylene produced in Alberta.Final project approval will be conditional on the Energy Resources Conservation Boardapproval, where required by legislation.

Incremental Ethane Extraction Program extended and changed tostrengthen Alberta's petrochemical industrySignificant changes have been made to the Incremental Ethane ExtractionProgram (IEEP) to diversify sources of ethane supply and to promote furtherdevelopment of value-added industry in Alberta.This came out of recommendations from the Alberta Competitiveness CouncilPetrochemical/Chemical Task Team who worked in collaboration with industry,and is being implemented by Alberta Energy.One of the significant changes to the program is the encouragement of the use ofoff-gas ethane, which is a by-product of bitumen refining or upgrading. Thisalternative source of ethane feedstock will help sustain Alberta's petrochemicalindustry, and at the same time, has the potential to reduce oilsands emissions byup to one million tonnes annually.Alberta's petrochemical industry depends on ongoing availability of competitivelypriced ethane to remain viable. Ethane is a component of natural gas that canbe extracted and used in petrochemical production.These revisions to IEEP will help to encourage more ethane extraction andstrengthen and grow the competitiveness of Alberta's petrochemical sector.Alberta's petrochemical industry is the largest in Canada with annual shipmentsof almost $9.2 billion and exports of more than $5.4 billion in 2009. The sectoremploys 7,500 Albertans and helps to diversify the labour market as well as addvalue to Alberta's economy.In reviewing industry sectors like the petrochemical industry, the CompetitivenessCouncil looked at a variety of factors crucial to success, including productivity,innovation, taxes and fiscal policy, regulation, transportation and infrastructure,labour force development and access to capital markets.Ethane is a feedstock used to make ethylene which is then used to manufacturepetrochemical derivatives such as ethylene glycol, polyvinyl chloride, styrene andlinear low-density polyethylene. Examples of end products include film, moulding,wire and cable, flooring, plastics, detergents, synthetic lubricants, PVC pipe andcable.These changes to IEEP will help make Alberta one of the most attractive placesto live and do business.

Williams Signs Long-Term Agreement to Produce Up to 17,0008pd of Ethane/Ethylene for NOVA Chemicals- Company to Expand Two Facilities in Alberta, Canada to Support Deal- New Production Adds to Existing NGUOlefin Production in Canada of 14,000 8pdTULSA, Okla., March 28,2011 IPRNewswire/-- Williams (NYSE: WMB) announced today thatit has signed a long-term agreement to produce up to 17,000 barrels per day (bpd) of ethaneand ethylene for NOVA Chemicals Corporation in Alberta, Canada.Williams plans to invest CA$311 million to expand its two primary facilities in Alberta to supportthe new agreement. The expansions, which are expected to begin operating in first-quarter2013, will allow the company to produce ethane and ethylene from its operations that processoff-gas from the Alberta oil sands.Fort McMurray, Redwater Facilities to be ExpandedThe expansions involve modifying and upgrading two facilities. Williams will modify its oilsands off-gas extraction plant near Fort McMurray, Alberta, and construct a de-ethanizer at itsRedwater natural gas liquids (NGL)/olefins fractionation facility near Edmonton, Alberta.The upgrades at Fort McMurray will allow Williams to include ethane and ethylene in theNGUolefins mixture that the company extracts from the off-gas and delivers to Redwater forfractionation.The new de-ethanizer at Redwater will then enable Williams to initially produce approximately10,000 bpd of an etthane/ethylene mix. This will add to its current production of approximately14,000 bpd of a heavier NGLlolefins mixture that includes propane, propylene, butane,butylenes and condensate. Future expansions are expected to further increaseethane/ethylene production.Under the terms of the new agreement, Williams is delivering the ethane/ethylene mixproduced at Redwater into the Joffre Feedstock Pipeline (JFP). NOVA Chemicals is deliveringthe product via JFP' into its Joffre facilities."These expansions will add incremental ethane supplies in Alberta, which are high-demandproducts for the petrochemical industry in Canada, II said Rory Miller, president of Williams'midstream business. "It's a significant growth opportunity for our Canadian midstreambusiness, as we're uniquely positioned as the only company with Off-gas experience and

facHftfes in the region.'The new opera tions will a lso further reduce greenhouse ga s a nd sulphur diox ide em issionsfrom the oil sands operations," Miller said.The Government of Alberta recently modified the Incremental Ethane Extraction Program toprovide incentives for the extraction of ethane from the oil sands in order to bring new suppliesof secure, long-term ethane feedstock to Alberta's petrochemical industry."l'm pleased to see that Williams is the first of what I believe will be many companies to benefitfrom the recent changes to our ethane policy, IIsaid Alberta Energy Minister Ron Uepert. 'Thevalue-added industry in the province is important, allowing Albertans to get the most out of theprovinces resources - whether in investment capital, exported products or jobs."The expenditures associated with these expansions were included in previous capitalexpenditure guidance, which was issued on Feb. 17.Williams' Operations in Canada: Innovative Business, Emissions ReducerWhen producers convert the Canadian oil sands into usable oil, the process produces anoff-gas byproduct that includes a rich mixture of natural gas, NGLs and oletins. Williamspioneered the process of extracting the mixture from the off-gas at its Fort McMurray facility,which is located on-site at a third-party oil-sands production facility.After it extracts the off-gas mixture, Williams returns the natural gas to the third-party oil-sandsproducer for its operations. It then transports the remaining NGUolefins mixture to itsRedwater facility outside of Edmonton.At Redwater, Williams separates the NGUolefins mixture into marketable products andremoves the sulphurs. Currently, the facility produces the highest quality of propyleneproduced in Canada, as well as propane, butane, butylenes and condensate. When theexpansions are placed into service, the facility will also produce ethane and ethylene.Williams' off-gas pmcessing reduces emissions of carbon dioxide (C02) - a greenhouse gas- in Alberta by approximately 200,000 tons each year and cuts emissions of sulphur dioxide(802) - a contributor to acid rain - by more than 4,200 tons each year. The new expansionswill further reduce both carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions in Alberta.NGL Pipeline to Support ExpansionsWilliams is currently constructing a 261-mile (420 km), 12-inch NGL pipeline from its FortMcMurray extraction facility to its Redwater fractionator. The pipeline is designed to supportthe company's growing business in Canada.The pipeline will have a capacity of 43,000 bpd of off-gas NGUolefins and is expected to beplaced into service in April 2012. The installation of additional pump stations in the futurewould enable Williams to increase capacity on the pipeline to 125,000 bpd.About Williams (NYSE: WMB)Wiiliams is an integrated natural gas company focused on exploration and production,midstream gathering and processing, and interstate natural gas transportation primarily in the
