Decision List No. 97

Week of August 3 Through August 7, 1998

Refund Application

ENRON CORP./MAPCO, INC., 8/3/98, RF340-149

    DOE granted a refund to MAPCO, Inc. (MAPCO) in the Enron 
Corporation (Enron) special refund proceeding. DOE concluded that 
MAPCO's NGL purchases were not discretionary in nature, and were 
dictated by the firm's need to supply its regular customers and 
maintain the flow of product in its pipeline system. However, DOE 
excluded purchases of ethane because they were insufficiently 
documented. DOE also excluded certain quantities of natural gasoline 
that appear to have been purchased pursuant to a fixed price contract. 
DOE then found that MAPCO had shown that it was injured by its 
purchases of propane from Enron to some extent, but limited the firm's 
refund to approximately 85.5% of its full volumetric refund for that 
product.
