Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Effective on May 25, 2012 Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“Kinder Morgan”) acquired all of the outstanding shares of El Paso Corporation (“El Paso”) for an aggregate consideration of approximately $23 billion. In total, El Paso shareholders received $11.6 billion in cash, 330 million Kinder Morgan Class P shares with a fair value of $10.6 billion as of May 24, 2012 and 505 million Kinder Morgan warrants with a fair value of $863 million as of May 24, 2012.  The warrants have an exercise price of $40 and a five-year term.  On May 24, 2012, as discussed in Note 3 (a) below, EP Energy was sold by El Paso for approximately $7.2 billion. Therefore, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements present EP Energy as if it had been sold on March 31, 2012 in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and as discontinued operations beginning January 1, 2011 in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.

The following pro forma condensed combined financial information has been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to the individual historical audited financial statements of Kinder Morgan and El Paso. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31, 2012 of Kinder Morgan has been prepared to give effect to the transactions as if the merger transactions had occurred on March 31, 2012. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income data of Kinder Morgan for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011 have been prepared to give effect to the transactions as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2011.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes pro forma adjustments that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the transactions. In addition, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, the unaudited pro forma adjustments have been made only for items that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

In addition, the historical Kinder Morgan data included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P.’s (“KMP”) FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as current assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2012 and as discontinued operations beginning January 1, 2011, see Note 2.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not include the following non-recurring items: (i) costs associated with the transactions which are not capitalized as part of the transactions, (ii) the elimination of El Paso’s debt issuance costs, which are reflected as an asset on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, (iii) known contractual employee and non-employee related costs including, severance and retention costs, (iv) the additional expense associated with accelerated vesting of El Paso’s share-based compensation arrangements, (v) investment banker advisory and legal fees associated with the merger transactions and (vi) other one-time post merger costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect these non-recurring items. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements expected to result from the transactions or the costs to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available preliminary information and certain assumptions that Kinder Morgan believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the merger taken place on March 31, 2012 for balance sheet purposes, and on January 1, 2011 for statements of income purposes, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.  All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Statements”) give effect to the merger transactions under the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the merger transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011 give effect to the transactions as if the merger transactions had occurred on January 1, 2011. On May 24, 2012, El Paso sold EP Energy. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents EP Energy as if it had been sold on March 31, 2012 in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and as discontinued operations beginning January 1, 2011 in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.  In addition, the historical Kinder Morgan data included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as current assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2012 and as discontinued operations beginning January 1, 2011, see Note 2.
 
These Unaudited Pro Forma Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions described below. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations or financial position of Kinder Morgan would have been if the transactions had in fact occurred on the dates or for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position of Kinder Morgan for any future periods or as of any date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements do not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements expected to result from the transactions or the costs to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements should be read in conjunction with the following documents (i) El Paso’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, (ii) El Paso’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012,  (iii) Kinder Morgan’s audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information revised to present KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group as discontinued operations (see Note 2) and included in Exhibit 99.1 to Kinder Morgan’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 4, 2012, and (iv) Kinder Morgan’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
Note 2 – Pending Sale of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines Disposal Group
 
As previously announced, in order to receive Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) approval for the El Paso acquisition, Kinder Morgan agreed to sell KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group within six months of May 24, 2012. The assets included in this disposal group are KMP’s (i) Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission natural gas pipeline system; (ii) Trailblazer natural gas pipeline system; (iii) Casper and Douglas natural gas processing operations; and (iv) 50% equity investment in the Rockies Express natural gas pipeline system.  In this report, we refer to this combined group of assets as KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group have been presented as current assets and liabilities held for sale in the historical Kinder Morgan information included on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (because the disposal group’s combined liabilities were not material to Kinder Morgan’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, the disposal group’s liabilities are included within Kinder Morgan’s “Current liabilities”).  In addition, the results of operations for KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group have been presented as discontinued operations in the historical Kinder Morgan information in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income beginning January 1, 2011.

Note 3 - Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
 
(a)
Sale of EP Energy
 
El Paso sold its subsidiary, EP Energy, which consists of El Paso’s exploration and production business, on May 24, 2012 for $7.2 billion. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of EP Energy have been presented as sold on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the net sale proceeds used to pay off EP Energy’s long-term debt of $961 million with the remaining amount presented as an increase to “Current assets.”  In addition, the results of operations (excluding indirect corporate overhead allocations) for EP Energy have been reclassified to discontinued operations on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income beginning January 1, 2011. Kinder Morgan used $6.2 billion from the EP Energy sale to pay for a portion of the $11.6 billion cash portion of the purchase price. El Paso’s net operating loss carryforwards are expected to significantly offset the cash taxes associated with this sale.
 
An after-tax gain of approximately $2.0 billion on the sale of EP Energy was recorded to El Paso’s equity after reducing the cash proceeds received of $7.2 billion, by the net book value of the assets sold and liabilities assumed/repaid based on a March 31, 2012 balance sheet date.  Income taxes on the gain of approximately $0.7 billion were computed using El Paso’s statutory tax rate of 36% less income tax adjustments for permanent differences.
 
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments
 
(b)
Represents pro forma adjustments to reflect the merger transactions under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of net assets acquired is classified as goodwill on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. Such goodwill is not amortized but will be evaluated for impairment on, at least, an annual basis. The estimated fair values and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on preliminary management estimates and are subject to final valuation adjustments which may cause some of the amounts ultimately recorded as goodwill to be materially different from those shown on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The final fair value assignments could differ materially from the preliminary amounts reflected herein and may cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

____________
(1)
Represents incremental interest expense associated with continuing operations on the debt issued in these transactions as if that debt was outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 and three months ended March 31, 2012. Kinder Morgan borrowed $5.375 billion at the close of the merger transactions consisting of (i) $375 million of borrowings against Kinder Morgan’s 364-day senior secured term loan credit facility which bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points (based on Kinder Morgan’s current credit rating) (referred to as the “364-Day Facility”) and (ii) $5.0 billion of borrowings under its three year senior secured term loan credit facility which will bear interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points (based on Kinder Morgan’s current credit rating) (referred to as the “Term Facility). The 364-Day Facility provides for additional fees as well as an increase in LIBOR margin during the 364-day term.
 
For purposes of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, it was assumed that the incremental $5.375 billion of debt would have an average annual interest cost of 4.0%.
 
(2)
Represents amortization of debt issuance costs on the debt issued in these transactions over the lives of the two debt facilities.   
 
(3)
Represents increased interest expense associated with the $120 million additional subsidiary revolver borrowings and an increased interest rate on Kinder Morgan’s revolver borrowings. In conjunction with the merger transaction, Kinder Morgan’s upsized its senior secured revolving credit facility from $1.0 billion to $1.75 billion.
 
(4)
Represents the reduction of interest expense for the amortization of the fair value of El Paso’s debt purchase price adjustment using the effective interest rate method. The estimated future reduction of interest expense for the amortization of the fair value of debt purchase price adjustment for each of the next five fiscal years (2012 – 2016) would be approximately $146 million, $143 million, $136 million, $131 million and $109 million.
 
(5)
Represents the increase of interest expense for the amortization of the regulatory offset to the fair value adjustment to El Paso’s debt in regulated subsidiaries. The estimated future amortization expense related to this regulatory offset for each of the next five fiscal years (2012 – 2016) would be approximately $71 million, $74 million, $77 million, $72 million and $56 million.
 
(6)
Represents the reversal of El Paso’s historical amortization expense associated with its capitalized debt issuance costs, which is included in El Paso’s historical interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011.
 
(u)
Pro forma adjustment to income tax expense, calculated using Kinder Morgan’s statutory federal and state income tax rate of 36.3%.

El Paso owns a 2% general partner and a 41.8% limited partner interest in EPB with 56.2% of EPB being owned by noncontrolling interests. Pro forma adjustments related to EPB include a portion of the adjustments described in footnote (q) above to reflect (i) a reduction in interest expense related to the amortization of El Paso’s fair value of debt purchase price adjustment and (ii) the reversal of El Paso’s historical amortization expense associated with its capitalized debt issuance costs. The pro forma adjustments to noncontrolling interests were calculated by multiplying these two pro forma adjustments by 56.2%.

____
(1)
Participating securities include Class B shares, Class C shares and unvested restricted stock awards issued to non-senior management employees that contain rights to dividends.
 
(2)
The Class A shares earnings per share as compared to the Class P shares earnings per share is different due to the sharing of economic benefits (including dividends) amongst the Class A, B, and C shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, this difference is primarily created by the priority dividend paid to the Class B shareholders that reduces the dividends paid to the Class A shareholders. Class A, B and C shares owned by Richard Kinder, the Sponsor Investors, the Original Shareholders, and Other Management are referred to as “investor retained stock,” and are convertible into a fixed number of Class P shares. In the aggregate, the investor retained stock is entitled to receive a dividend per share on a fully converted basis equal to the dividend per share on the Class P common stock. The conversion of shares of investor retained stock into Class P shares will not increase Kinder Morgan’s total fully-converted shares outstanding, nor impact the aggregate dividends Kinder Morgan pays or the dividends Kinder Morgan pays per share on Class P common stock.  
 
(3)
For the diluted earnings per share calculation, total net income attributable to shareholders from continuing operations is divided by the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding during the period, including all dilutive potential shares.
