DENVER-JULESBURG BASIN NOW IN COMMERCIAL OPERATION

DENVER, Oct. 16, 2013 - DCP Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: DPM) announces that its new O'Connor Plant, formerly known as the LaSalle Plant, is now in commercial operation.

The O'Connor Plant is a deep-cut cryogenic, natural gas processing plant located near Kersey, Colo., in the rapidly expanding, liquids-rich DJ Basin that is part of the growing Niobrara shale formation. The new name honors Tom O'Connor, chairman of the board of DCP Midstream Partners, and former CEO and chairman of DCP Midstream LLC.

"We are pleased to acknowledge the contribution of Tom to DCP's growing and diversified footprint and just as importantly, his unwavering commitment to the safety and reliability of our operations. His personal integrity is synonymous with the integrity with which we operate our assets," said Wouter van Kempen, CEO of DCP Midstream Partners, and chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of DCP Midstream.

"The Denver-Julesburg Basin continues to reinvent itself through technological innovation," van Kempen continued. "Volumes and infrastructure needs continue to accelerate. We are executing on our strategy to provide producers the integrated solutions they seek to accommodate their aggressive growth profiles."

The O'Connor Plant is part of an eight-plant system owned and operated by the DCP enterprise, with approximately 600 million cubic feet per day of total capacity. DCP continues to evaluate a very dynamic portfolio of opportunities that align with its gathering and processing and natural gas liquids strategy overall. The plant has an initial capacity of 110 MMcf/d. Expansion to 160 MMcf/d is expected to be completed in the first half of 2014.
