Take notice that on September 28, 1994, Texas Gas Transmission
Corporation (Texas Gas), Post Office Box 1160, Owensboro, Kentucky
42302 and Union Oil Company of California (Unocal), 14141 Southwest
Freeway, Sugar Land, Texas 77478 filed, in Docket No. CP94-811-000, a
joint application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and
part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for an order permitting and
approving the abandonment of an exchange service, all as more fully set
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
Texas Gas and Unocal propose to abandon an interruptible exchange
service, pursuant to an exchange agreement dated November 5, 1985
(Agreement), of up to 15,000 Mcf per month of natural gas. Texas Gas
states that under the Agreement it delivered up to 15,000 Mcf per month
to a location at or near Unocal's Bayou Pigeon Meter Station located in
Iberia Parish, Louisiana and received equivalent quantities of gas from
Unocal at the Bayou Pigeon delivery point, at a delivery point in the
Lake Pagie Field, or at other mutually agreeable locations. Texas Gas
also states that the term of its Agreement coincided with the term of a
gas purchase contract, with Unocal, involving gas reserves in the Bayou
Pigeon Field. Texas Gas asserts the gas purchase contract expired on
November 1, 1993, and thus the Agreement also terminated on this same
date.
Texas Gas and Unocal state there is no abandonment of any
facilities pursuant to the instant application.
Comment date: October 21, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.
2. CNG Transmission Corp.
[Docket No. CP94-795-000]
Take notice that on September 22, 1994, CNG Transmission
Corporation (CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia
26301, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Gateway), filed in Docket No.
CP94-795-000 an application pursuant to section 157.211(b) of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for
authorization to construct new delivery facilities that would serve as
an additional delivery point to National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation
(NFG Supply), under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
537-000, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
CNG states that NFG Supply currently transports local production
gas to its affiliate, National Fuel Gas Distribution (NFG
Distribution), for distribution of approximately 325 consumers in the
Village of Wilcox, in Jones Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania. CNG
further states that NFG Supply serves these consumers by utilizing
CNG's B-5 and B-M7 lines. Because of the age and condition of these
lines, and a declining supply, NFG Supply desires to retire these
lines. CNG proposes to construct a four-inch tap, measuring and
regulation station and add approximately 150 feet of 4-inch connecting
line from CNG's pipeline system near the Village of Wilcox. This would
replace the gas supply delivering it through the new facilities to NFG
Supply so that NFG Distribution could continue serving its consumers in
Wilcox and vicinity. CNG states that the estimated cost of the
construction is $124,596.00, and that NFG Supply has agreed to
reimburse CNG.
