HOUSTON - Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P.

As part of the Amendment, Anadarko will dedicate to the Partnership more than 800,000 additional acres located in Allen, Beauregard, Evangeline, Rapides and Vernon Parishes, Louisiana under a long-term dedication.

The Amendment applies a new fee structure to all new wells spud on or after April 1, 2012 by Anadarko on any of the dedicated lands (inclusive of both the lands already dedicated under the Agreement and the additional lands dedicated under the Amendment). Wells spud prior to April 1, 2012 remain governed by the legacy fee structure set forth in the Agreement. The natural gas from these wells is currently gathered and delivered into the Partnership's Brookeland gathering system and plant for processing and treating.
