(Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue,

S.E., Charleston,West Virginia 25314–

Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, and

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court,

Houston, Texas 77056–5310, jointly

filed an application in Docket No.

CP96–90–000 pursuant to section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act for an order

granting permission and approval to

abandon the service rendered pursuant

to an agreement to purchase and

exchange gas of certain production

properties and facilities and local

purchases of gas owned by Columbia in

the Benezette Field in Cameron,

Clearfield, and Elk Counties,

Pennsylvania, with certain production

properties and facilities and local

purchases of gas in the Artemas Field in

Bedford County, Pennsylvania, owned

by CNGT, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

It is stated that Columbia and CNGT

exchanged the properties, facilities, and

gas purchase agreements related to the

fields to enable Columbia to activate

and operate the Artemas Storage Field,

and to enable CNGT to acquire property

interests in the Benezette Production

Field for its storage development.

Columbia’s Rate Schedule X–34,

CNGT’s Rate Schedule X–8, and Texas

Eastern’s Rate Schedule X–60 provided

for the exchange of the remaining

recoverable gas reserves underlying

Columbia’s and CNGT’s respective gas

purchase agreements, with Texas

Eastern delivering Columbia’s volumes

in Texas Eastern’s Zone C in

Pennsylvania or at other points

interconnection between Columbia and

Texas Eastern. Texas Eastern deducted

equivalent volumes from its scheduled

delivery to CNGT at established delivery

points in Zone C.

It is also stated that the specific

reserve volumes involved in the March

31, 1971, Agreement were 2,082,000

Mcf from Columbia to CNGT and

214,000 Mcf from CNGT to Columbia.

CNGT resold and transported the

difference in reserves transferred to

Columbia for the costs incurred by

CNGT in measuring, transporting, and

compressing the gas into CNGT’s

transmission system. An existing

exchange between Columbia and CNGT

in the Benezette, Nolo, and Rockton

Fields, was modified so that gas

purchased in the Nolo Field, Indiana

county, Pennsylvania, could be

delivered to Columbia in exchange for

gas purchased by Columbia in the

Rockton Field, Clearfield County,

Pennsylvania. The rate schedules for

which abandonment authority is sought

are as follows:

are required by the public convenience

and necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly
