           WILLIAMS ENERGY PARTNERS COMPLETES LONG-TERM DEBT FINANCING

         TULSA, Okla. - Williams Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE:WEG) announced today
that it has completed the long-term debt financing associated with its
acquisition of Williams Pipe Line.

         The five-year private financing includes Series A and Series B notes,
which provide $420 million to repay a short-term acquisition loan and debt
financing costs.

         The interest rate on the Series A notes, totaling $156 million, is
based on a floating rate of Eurodollar plus 4.25 percent while the Series B
notes, totaling $264 million, have a fixed coupon rate of 7.67 percent. The debt
is secured by the assets of Williams Pipe Line.

         The financing also allows for an additional borrowing of up to $60
million for general corporate purposes or $120 million to acquire a refined
petroleum products pipeline system from Tesoro Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:TSO)
if the acquisition is consummated.

         "We have negotiated an interest rate in line with our purchase
economics for Williams Pipe Line," said John Chandler, chief financial officer.
"This borrowing completes the long-term debt financing of our acquisition of
Williams Pipe Line and provides the additional flexibility we need to finance
potential future acquisitions."
