TULSA, Okla., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Williams (NYSE:WMB)

major natural gas artery serving the northeastern and southeastern
United States - has established a peak-day delivery record of 9.25
million dekatherms. The record-breaking deliveries occurred on Jan.
3, 2010. The new peak-day mark surpasses the previous high of 8.91
million dekatherms that was established on Feb. 5, 2009. This
represents enough natural gas to serve the energy needs of more

million dekatherms per day. "This was a tremendous team effort that
allowed us to quickly respond to our customers' needs," said Phil
Wright, president of Williams' natural gas pipeline business. "The
majority of our market area experienced colder than normal
temperatures, and our employees did a great job of responding to
significant increases in demand." The Transco pipeline is a
10,500-mile pipeline system which extends from South Texas to New
York. About Williams (NYSE:WMB) Williams, through its subsidiaries,
