Specifically, Southern proposes to 

abandon 10 miles of 10-inch diameter 

pipeline that extends from Apache 

Corporation’s (Apache) Platform A in 

the Matagorda Island Area Block 696, 

offshore Texas to a subsea tie-in with 

the existing 24-inch Matagorda Offshore 

Pipeline System at Matagorda Island 

Area Block 665. Southern states the 

Apache Platform ceased production 

operations in October 2010 and Apache 

plans to remove the platform in the 

second quarter of 2011. Southern states 

it has provided interruptible 

transportation service for three shippers 

through the supply lateral in the last 

twelve months and each customer has 

provided written consent in support of 

the abandonment project. Southern also 

states that it would cost approximately 

$13.8 million to replicate the facilities 

today. 

Any person or the Commission’s staff 

may, within 60 days after issuance of 

the instant notice by the Commission, 

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR 

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice 

of intervention and pursuant to Section 

157.205 of the regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 

request. If no protest is filed within the 

time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for filing a protest. If a 

protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the allowed time 

for filing a protest, the instant request 

shall be treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of 

the NGA.
