DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Minerals Management Service

Preparation of an Environmental

Assessment for Kerr-McGee’s

Proposed Deepwater Development

Plan Offshore Texas (Boomvang

Project)

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Preparation of an environmental

assessment.

SUMMARY: The Minerals Management

Service (MMS) is preparing an

environmental assessment (EA) for a

proposed deepwater development plan

to develop and produce hydrocarbon

reserves about 114 miles offshore Texas

in East Breaks, Blocks 642, 643, and

688.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Minerals Management Service, Gulf of

Mexico OCS Region, 1201 Elmwood

Park Boulevard, New Orleans, Louisiana

70123–2394, Mr. Alvin Jones, telephone

(504) 736–1713.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EA

implements the tiering process outlined

in 40 CFR 1502.20, which encourages

agencies to tier environmental

documents, eliminating repetitive

discussions of the same issue. By use of

reference to the most recent Final

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the Gulf of Mexico Western Planning

Area for Lease Sales 171, 174, 177, and

180 and by tiering to related

environmental documents, this EA

concentrates on environmental issues

specific to the proposed action.

The MMS Gulf of Mexico Region

received an Initial Development

Operations Coordination Document

(DOCD) from Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas

Corporation (Kerr-McGee) that proposes

to develop and produce hydrocarbon

reserves located in East Breaks, Blocks

642, 643, and 688. The DOCD was

assigned a plan control number of N–

7077, and the project is referred to as

the Boomvang Project. Kerr-McGee will

complete and produce a total of 10 wells

that were drilled under previouslyapproved Exploration Plans for the

subject blocks. No new drilling

operations are proposed as a part of this

DOCD. All of the wells will share a

common surface location (a truss spar

floating production system) in East

Breaks, Block 643.

The Boomvang truss spar is a manned

floating production facility that will be

permanently anchored on location by a

9-leg, taut catenary system composed of

conventional wire, chain, and anchor

piles. The hull portion of the spar

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 9, 2001 / Notices 23727

measures approximately 90 feet in

diameter and has an overall length of

543 feet. No hydrocarbons will be stored

in the hull of the spar. The spar is not

drilling rig capable; however, a 1,000-hp

completion/workover platform rig will

be installed and used for the initial

completion operations. If any additional

drilling would be necessary, a mobile

offshore drilling unit (MODU) would be

utilized. The spar will have a 20-person

permanent accommodation unit

installed. Temporary, portable quarters

for up to 48 people may be provided.

The water depth at the truss spar

location is approximately 3,457 feet.

The project will use an existing onshore

support base in Sabine Pass, Texas, to

support the production activities.

During completion or workover

operations, either the onshore base in

Sabine Pass, Texas, or an existing

onshore base in Galveston, Texas, will

be used to support these activities.

Oil and gas produced at the

Boomvang project will be transported

off lease by third-party owned and

operated right-of-way pipelines.

The proposed action analyzed in the

EA will be the development plan as

proposed by Kerr-McGee. Alternatives

will include the proposed action with

additional mitigations and no action

(i.e., disapproval of the plan). The

analyses in the EA will examine the

potential environmental effects of the

proposal and alternatives.
