Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
     In connection with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation’s (the “Company”) previously announced decision to sell the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) facility in Nova Scotia, called Bear Head (the “Bear Head LNG Facility”), the Company determined that certain transportation agreements previously entered into with Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C. and Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline Limited Partnership (collectively, “Maritimes”) are no longer necessary.
     Following discussions with Maritimes, on September 8, 2006, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company), Anadarko LNG Marketing LLC and Anadarko Canada LNG Marketing Company, received a notice of termination from Maritimes of the agreements related to the delivery services that were to be provided by Maritimes from the Bear Head LNG Facility to prospective markets in eastern Canada and northeastern United States, under the Precedent Agreement (U.S.), Precedent Agreement (Canada), Service Agreement (U.S.), Service Agreement (Canada), Negotiated Rate Agreement (U.S.) and Base Rate Agreement (U.S.).
