[Docket No. CP08–467–000] 

Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice 

of Application 

September 9, 2008. 

Take notice that on September 2, 

2008, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Texas Gas), 3800 Frederica Street, 

Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed in 

Docket No. CP08–467–000, an 

application pursuant to section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of 

the Commission’s Regulations to: (i) 

Construct, own, operate and maintain a 

new compressor station located on the 

Fayetteville Lateral (Bald Knob 

Compressor Station) in White County, 

Arkansas, and a new compressor station 

located on the Greenville Lateral (Isola 

Compressor Station) in Humphreys 

County, Mississippi; and (ii) make 

certain modifications at the existing 

Greenville compressor station in 

Washington County, Mississippi, in 

order to meet the increased capacity 

demands of their existing mainline 

system. This project is hereafter referred 

to as the Fayetteville Shale Compressor 

Project (Project), and in addition seeking 

a predetermination that Texas Gas may 

roll-in the costs of the Project into its 

approved Incremental Rates for Service 

on the Fayetteville Lateral and the 

Greenville Lateral (Lateral Incremental 

Rates) in the next rate case, all as more 

fully set forth in the application which 

is on file with the Commission and open 

to public inspection. This filing is 

accessible on-line at http:// 

www.ferc.gov, using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link 

and is available for review in the

(202) 420–5589. 

Specifically, the Bald Knob 

Compressor Station will consist of two 

13,330 horsepower (hp) turbine 

compressor units designed to increase 

the Fayetteville Lateral’s maximum 

capacity to approximately 1.3 Bcf per 

day. The Isla Compressor Station will 

consist of one 13,330 hp turbine 

compressor unit designed to increase 

the Greenville Lateral’s maximum 

capacity to approximately 1.0 Bcf per 

day. The Project is designed to increase 

the market’s access to production from 

the prolific Fayetteville Shale in an 

environmentally prudent manner and in 

a rational time frame that will meet the 

needs of the market. Chesapeake Energy 

Corporation (Chesapeake) and XTO 

Energy Inc. (XTO) are the primary 

customers supporting this Project, 

having executed new agreements for the 

firm transportation capacity created by 

the project. In addition, Southwestern 

Energy Company (Southwestern) and 

Petrohawk Energy Corporation 

(Petrohawk) have exercised options in 

their existing agreements that will 

utilize a portion of the additional firm 

transportation capacity that will be 

facilitated by the Project.1
