Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

June 11, 2008.
    Take notice that on June 2, 2008, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans), 225 
North Shore Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212, filed in Docket No. 
CP08-416-000, an application pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as 
amended, to abandon four storage injection/withdrawal wells in its 
Logansport Storage Reservoir in Marion County, WV, under Equitrans' 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP96-532-000, all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to the public for inspection.
    Equitrans proposes to abandon four injection/withdrawal wells in 
its Logansport Storage Reservoir \1\ as part of an April 10, 2008, 
settlement agreement with the Consolidation Coal Company (Consol), who 
owns and operates a longwall coal mining operation (the Robinson Run 
Mine) in Marion County, WV, which is in close proximity to Equitrans' 
Logansport Storage Field. Equitrans states that the four injection/
withdrawal well bores are in the projected path of Consol's mining 
operations. Equitrans further states that in order to avoid damage to 
both Equitrans' wells and Consol's mining equipment, the wells would 
need to be abandoned and the well casings removed. Equitrans also 
states that it would cost approximately $261,756 to abandon the four 
injection/withdrawal wells.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Equitrans has also proposed in a concurrent filing in Docket 
No. CP08-417-000 to replace the four abandoned wells with two 
horizontal storage injection/withdrawal wells.
