Please see the numbered responses below. Also, we 

would like to change

the Facility Name on the application to remove the 

term "gas plant" if

possible. I've revised the appropriate page of the 

Application Form and

it is attached. Sorry I didn't catch it on the last 

update.

If we need to submit another certification of truth 

and accuracy with

the change, let me know. I'm out of the office 

tomorrow and next week,

but I can get one signed and to you if need be.

Let me know if there's anything else.

1. No. There are no crude oil storage tanks located 

at the MCU gas

compression facility. 

2. Yes. There are five small aboveground storage 

tanks at the MCU gas

compression facility. There is one 500 gallon tank, 

one 400 gallon tank

and one 250 gallon tank all of which contain lube oil 

for the

compressors. There is also a 1,000 gallon tank that 

previously contained

diesel fuel, but it has been removed from service. 

3. No to both questions. There are no NGLs extracted 

at the MCU gas

compression facility and none of the gas is sold. All 

of the gas that is

processed by the facility is field gas that is 

re-injected to the

producing reservoir. Produced water and crude oil 

that are removed by

free water knockouts or "scrubbers" installed 

upstream of the facility's

compressors and are sent back to the tank batteries 

via a closed drain

system.

Subject: McElmo Creek Unit

Hi. Please answer the following questions regarding 

the McElmo Creek

Unit Gas Plant. This would help in writing the 

permit. Let me know if

you have any questions. Thanks.

1. Are there tank batteries where oil is stored at 

the Gas Plant? If so,

how many?

2. Are there other storage tanks at the Gas Plant? If 

so, how many and

what materials are stored in the tanks?

3. Besides injecting field gas into the reservoir, is 

the gas diverted

to be sold at times? Is the field gas processed in a 

manner in which

natural gas liquids are extracted from the field gas?
