[Docket No. CP96–371–000]

Transwestern Pipeline Co.; Notice of

Application for Abandonment

May 3, 1996.

Take notice that on April 30, 1996,

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern), 1400 Smith Street,

Houston, Texas 77002, filed an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the

Commission’s Regulations for an order

authorizing the abandonment and

removal of Transwestern’s Santa Fe

Bilbrey Compressor Unit and

Transwestern’s Texaco Bilbrey

Compressor Unit, both of which are

located on Transwestern’s Monument

Lateral in Lea County, New Mexico. The

application is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Transwestern states the following:

Its Santa Fe Bilbrey Compressor Unit

is a 1,000 horsepower rental field

compressor unit which was installed in

1994 pursuant to Section 157.208 of the

Commission’s regulations. Its Texaco

Bilbrey Compressor Unit is a 750

horsepower rental unit which was

installed in 1994. The production from

behind the Santa Fe Bilbrey Compressor

Unit and Texaco Bilbrey Compressor

Unit never achieved the projected level,

when combined, only average

approximately 5 MMcf/day. The

existing facilities are thus oversized for

this minimal volume. It is therefore

uneconomic for Transwestern to

continue paying the approximately

$30,000 per month rental payment and

Transwestern has notified Santa Fe and

Texaco that it is requesting Commission

authority to abandon the compressors.

Santa Fe and Texaco have agreed to

provide their own compression to the

extent and in the event they desire to

continue transporting production from

their Bilbrey wells on Transwestern’s

Monument Lateral. The requested

abandonment is thus in the public

convenience and necessity as it will

save Transwestern money, not impact

services provided by Transwestern, and

if Santa Fe and Texaco install their own

compression, enable production from

the Bilbrey wells to continue to be

transported on Transwestern’s

Monument Lateral.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 24,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.211 and 385.214) and the

regulations under the Natural 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 in any proceeding

herein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the

Natural Gas Act and the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure, a

hearing will be held without further

notice before the Commission or its

designee on this application if no

motion to intervene is filed within the

time required herein, if the Commission

on its own review of the matter finds

that permission and approval for the

proposed abandonment 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 formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Transwestern to appear

or to be represented at the hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
