estimated total cost of $20,000.

Pennsylvania. National states that these wells and lines are located in 
a poor deliverability area of the Swede Hill reservoir and are no 
longer being utilized. National estimates the total cost of this 
abandonment to be $75,000.

of these storage fields would not be diminished by these abandonments.
