        Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. Delays Third Quarter 2005 Earnings
                          Release and Conference Call


    LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2005--Pacific Energy
Partners, L.P. (NYSE:PPX) ("Pacific Energy") announced that the
release of its third quarter 2005 financial results, originally
scheduled for November 9, 2005, will be delayed in order to complete a
review of its accounting procedures for its Rangeland pipeline system
revenue. The conference call originally scheduled for November 10,
2005 has similarly been delayed.
    It has been determined that an error in the accounting procedures
for inventory and cost of goods sold for the Rangeland system since
its acquisition in May 2004 has resulted in an understatement of net
revenue and a corresponding understatement of the inventory balance.
The correction of the understatement to net revenue will increase net
income, and is not expected to affect reported cash flow from
operating activities in any period. Pacific Energy has not yet made a
final determination as to the proper accounting treatment for the
correction, but expects to complete its analysis shortly.
    Pacific Energy will file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for a five-day extension for the filing of its
Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2005. The revised timing of the
earnings release and quarterly investor call will be announced as soon
as the review is complete.
