K N ENERGY COMPLETES ACQUISITION
Lakewood, CO - K N Energy, Inc. (NYSE - KNE) announced that it has finalized
the previously announced $80.1 million acquisition of natural gas transmission
pipeline and gas storage assets in Texas from Meridian Oil Inc. The two major
West Texas pipeline systems being acquired are the Morgan Creek Pipeline and
the MoTrans Pipeline.
This acquisition reflects K N Energy's strategy to continue to build on its
extensive Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Texas natural gas pipeline systems.
"K N Energy has been very pleased by the expression of interest from customers
on these pipelines and by the potential growth opportunities these pipelines
offer," said Larry D. Hall, K N Energy's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"K N Energy's 1994 and 1995 merger and acquisition steps provide the Company
with a strong competitive balance of new nonregulated operations across the
natural gas value stream." Hall said, "By balancing investment in the solid
regulated business and the unregulated business, K N Energy is better able to
create value for its customers and capture value for its shareholders."
