DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP97–774–000]

CNG Transmission Corporation and

Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

October 3, 1997.

Take notice that on September 26,

1997, CNG Transmission Corporation

(CNG), 445 West Main Street,

Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, and

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310, filed in

Docket No. CP97–774–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the

Commission’s Regulations.

The Applicants seek a Certificate of

Public Convenience and Necessity

granting authorization:

1. To construct, install, own, operate,

and maintain certain additional

compression facilities at the Oakford

Compression Station, and certain new

or replacement pipeline facilities to

increase the storage capacity of the

Oakford Storage Complex (Oakford),

located in Westmoreland County,

Pennsylvania, by 10 Bcf, at an estimated

cost of $44,032,000 to be shared equally

by the Applicants;

2. To convert to working capacity 2.75

Bcf of Murrysville storage reservoir’s

capacity that was held to support

deliverability requirements gas in CNG’s

Order 636 restructuring;

3. To increase deliverability from

CNG’s Greenlick Storage Complex

located in Potter County, Pennsylvania,

by 150 MMcf/d, by modifying the

existing dehydration system and other

auxiliary installations, at an estimated

cost of $875,000;

4. To convert 2.56 Bcf of existing base

gas capacity at CNG’s Fink-Kennedy/

Lost Creek Complex to working gas

capacity;

5. For CNG to utilize its share of the

expansion capacity as part of its Market

Area Storage Project;

6. For Texas Eastern to utilize its

share of the expanded storage capacity

and injection/withdrawal capability as

system storage;

7. For Texas Eastern to recover its cost

of service associated with these facilities

through its storage cost credit/surcharge

mechanism, including the true-up for

actual gas costs; and

8. Of certain revised pro-forma Texas

Eastern tariff sheets, all as more fully set

forth in the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

The Applicants state that they each

own an undivided one-half interest in

Oakford, and that CNG is the operator

of that facility. CNG states that it has

begun a well stimulation program

designed to improve deliverability lost

due to deterioration within the two

storage reservoirs in Oakford. This

program would maximize efficient use

of existing and proposed compression,

allow Applicants to maintain the

current certificated deliverability, and

minimize the need for future additional

compression horsepower. CNG feels no

certificate is necessary for these well

stimulations, as the program will

maximize efficient use of the existing

and proposed compression, minimize

the need for future additional

compression, and allow maintenance of

current certificated deliverability.

The Applicants further state that they

will replace the existing dehydration

system at the Oakford Compression

Station which will increase its

efficiency. They will also replace the

existing 325 feet of suction line at the

Lincoln Heights Compressor Station.

The Applicants feel that both of these

replacements are within the definition

of an auxiliary installation pursuant to

§ 2.55 of the Commission’s regulations,

and therefore require no certificate

authorization.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

24, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, NE., Washington, D.C., 20426, a

motion to intervene or a protest in
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 196 / Thursday, October 9, 1997 / Notices 52703

accordance with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests

filed with the Commission will be

considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

notice of such hearing will be duly
