Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.7

which is on file with the Commission

Commission approval to abandon

approximately 16 miles of pipeline

extending from a point in Section 145,

Block B2, NO RR Survey, Gray County,

Texas to the suction side of the

McConnell Compressor Station in

Section 44, Block 4, I&GN RR Survey,

Carson County, Texas. According to Northern, these facilities

were originally constructed for the

purpose of attaching gas supplies which

Northern had purchased for its

merchant sales obligation. Northern

states that these facilities are no longer

necessary for Northern to transport gas

for its merchant function due to the

industry changes mandated by Order

No. 636.

Northern will sell the facilities, which

have a book value of $2,814, to

American Gathering for $150,000, and

will record a credit to Account 4211 of

Take notice that on February 4, 1997,

CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG),

445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West

Virginia 26301 filed, in Docket No.

CP97–230–000, an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

and Part 157 of the Commission’s

Regulations for permission and approval

to abandon .45 miles of 2-inch pipeline,

known as Line H–21754, located in

Adkin District, McDowell County, West

Virginia by sale to Classic Oil & Gas

Resources (Classic), and that the line be

operated as a non-jurisdictional

gathering line by Classic, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection. CNG states that Line H–21754

consists of 2-inch gathering line that

connects production owned by CNG,

also being sold to Classic, to CNG’s

gathering system. CNG describes Line

H–21754 as typical of gathering with a

pressure of approximately 195 psig, and

says that the line is currently listed as

gathering in CNG’s Revised Volume 1A

of its FERC Gas Tariff. CNG states there

are no other producers who have

production located on this line other

than Classic. CNG explains that CNG

and Classic have agreed that CNG will

sell Line H–21754 to Classic for $10.00.

Further, CNG says that since the

pipeline does not comprise an operating

unit, no gain or loss is recognized on the

transaction. CNG states no

transportation contracts will be

terminated by this sale to Classic. CNG

says the delivery point for the gas

entering CNG’s system will move

downstream from the current delivery

point.

South Georgia proposes to construct

and operate a meter station consisting of

one 4-inch turbine meter and other

delivery point at or near Mile Post

100.324 on its 10-inch Main Line in

Suwannee County, Florida. South

Georgia states that Florida Power will

own the measurement facilities and

South Georgia will construct and

operate them at Florida Power’s

construct, own and operate as part of its

generating plant facilities approximately

1000 feet of 8-inch-diameter pipeline

extending from the outlet of the meter

station to Florida Power’s combustion

turbine building.

South Georgia estimates the annual

volumes to be delivered to the proposed

Florida Power #2 delivery point to be

350,000 Mcf, which is equivalent to an

estimated daily average of 959 Mcf.

South Georgia states that the maximum

delivery volumes are expected to be

9,720 Mcf per day. South Georgia

further states that it will provide the

transportation service to the proposed

Florida Power #2 delivery point under

its Rate Schedule IT, and that

installation of the proposed facilities

will have no adverse effect on its ability

to provide its firm requirements.

average day requirements of 4,000

million Btu and 2,500 million Btu,

respectively. Koch Gateway estimates a

facility cost of $130,000, which would

be reimbursed by Oxy.

interruptible transportation service to be

rendered through the delivery point

facilities would be performed using

existing capacity on its system and

would have no effect on its peak day

and annual deliveries. It is also stated

that its tariff does not prohibit the

proposed installation of facilities.
