[Docket No. CP11–91–000] 

Monroe Gas Storage Company, LLC; 

Notice of Application 

Take notice that on February 18, 2011, 

Monroe Gas Storage Company, LLC 

(Monroe), 3773 Cherry Creek North 

Drive, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80209, 

filed pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of 

the Commission’s regulations, an 

abbreviated application for an 

amendment to its certificate of public 

convenience and necessity issued on 

December 21, 2007, Docket No. CP07– 

406–000; authorizing Monroe to make 

changes to the certificated design of the 

Monroe Gas Storage Project. 

Specifically, through this Application, 

Monroe seeks authorization to (1) 

relocate the currently authorized Well 

MGS–6–E–H to a new well site and 

bottom hole location, and (2) convert 

the existing Well MGS–6 to an 

observation well. Monroe also requests 

an extension of time to place all of the 

project facilities into service to a date 90 

days from the issued date of the order. 

In conjunction with these requests, 

Monroe proposes to change the 

designation of the relocated well from 

MGS–6–E–H to MGS–6–W–D and the 

converted well from MGS–6–E–H to 

MGS–O6. 

Monroe states that the proposed 

amendment will not change its 

currently certificated authority to 

provide about 12.0 billion cubic feet 

(Bcf) of high-deliverability working gas 

storage capacity, with about 4.46 Bcf of 

base gas. Nor is any change proposed in 

Monroe’s certificated capability for 

receiving and injecting gas at maximum 

rates of up to 445 million cubic feet per 

day (MMcf/d) and withdrawing and 

delivering gas at maximum rates of up 

to 465 MMcf/d. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to Fred 

Witsell, Monroe Gas Storage Company, 

LLC, 3773 Cherry Creek North Drive,
