DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-325-000, et al.]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company, et al.; Natural Gas
Certificate Filings
April 25, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company
[Docket No. CP95-325-000]
Take notice that on April 14, 1995, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), Suite 300, 200 North Third Street,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP 95-325-000 a
request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157,211) for
authorization to construct and operate four storage meter stations in
Unit 2 of the Baker Storage Field, Montana under Williston Basin's
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000 pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Williston Basin proposes to install and operate four two-way
(injection/withdrawal) storage meter stations and related facilities in
Unit 2 of the Baker Storage Field. The constructed facilities at each
storage meter site will consist of a 6' x 12' building which will house
an orifice meter run, a chart recorder and minor auxiliary metering
devices. The land is located completely within Williston Basin's
existing right-of-way. Estimated project cost is $36,300. Williston
Basin states that the proposed facilities will have no significant
effect on peak day or annual requirements.
With the installation of these proposed metering facilities,
Williston Basin states that it will be able to provide more detailed
injection and withdrawal data from selected storage well groups. This
will allow Williston Basin to obtain greater accuracy and detail in
gathering reservoir and surface facility data, will give more accurate
reservoir modeling and will create greater operating efficiency in Unit
2. Until this time, the metering of gas storage injection and
withdrawal volumes for the twelve storage wells extending over seven
square miles in Unit 2 has been provided by one storage meter located
at the Cabin Creek Compressor Station.
Comment date: June 9, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
(G) at the end of this notice.
2. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation
[Docket No. CP95-334-000]
Take notice that on April 19, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia,
25325-1273, filed in Docket No. CP95-334-000 an abbreviated joint
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as
amended, and Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (Commission) Regulations thereunder, for permission and
approval to abandon a natural gas transportation service for Penn Fuel
Gas, Inc. (Penn Fuel), all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Columbia states that it proposes to abandon a transportation
service initiated to implement a storage agreement for annual storage
of up to 850,000 Mcf of natural gas by National Gas Storage Corporation
(Storage Corporation) for Penn Fuel. Columbia indicates that it
provides its service under its Rate Schedule X-98. Columbia further
states that the service was authorized in Docket No. CP80-234. It is
indicated that National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (Supply
Corporation) agreed to transport the gas from Penn Fuel's account to
and from Storage Corporation. It is further indicated that Columbia,
Penn Fuel, and Supply Corporation entered into a agreement whereby
Columbia agreed to transport base gas and injection and withdrawal
volumes from Penn Fuel's Rate Schedule CDS entitlement to Supply
Corporation for transportation and redelivery to Storage Corporation,
and to transport storage withdrawal volumes delivered by Supply
Corporation to Columbia for delivery to existing points of delivery to
Penn Fuel.
Columbia states that Rate Schedule X-98 allowed it to transport, on
a best efforts basis, summer injection volumes of from 2,000 to 7,000
Mcf per day for delivery to Supply Corporation for Penn Fuel's account,
and to transport from 2,000 to 10,000 Mcf per day for Penn Fuel during
winter withdrawal periods. Columbia advises that delivery of the summer
injection volumes was at existing points of interconnection between
Columbia and Supply Corporation near Emporium, Cameron County,
Pennsylvania. Columbia indicates that the withdrawal volumes were
received at the same points of interconnection and redelivered to Penn
Fuel at existing delivery points between Columbia and Penn Fuel.
Columbia avers that it is currently providing alternative service under
a Part 284 storage service transportation agreement for Penn Fuel as
filed in ST94-2317-000. It is indicated that volumes were last
transported under Rate Schedule X-98 in November 1994 and that there
are no outstanding balances.

(F) at the end of this notice.
3. Florida Gas Transmission Company

Take notice that on April 21, 1995, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket
No. CP95-339-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.216 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and

of a mile of pipeline. FGT makes such request under its blanket
certificates issued in [[Page 22058]] Docket No. CP82-553-000, pursuant
to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public

FGT is proposing to abandon .1 mile of 3-inch lateral pipeline and
the Plymouth Citrus Meter Station located in Orange County, Florida.
FGT states that Mid-Florida Freezer Warehouses, Ltd. (Mid-Florida) now
owns and operates the citrus processing facility that previously took
gas from this system. FGT asserts that Mid-Florida does not need to use
natural gas and therefore does not need the facilities previously used
by Citrus World. FGT reports that no activity has occurred at this
meter station since 1990.
Comment date: June 9, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
(G) at the end of this notice.

Take notice that on April 21, 1995, NorAm Gas Transmission Company
(NGT), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No.
CP95-342-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, and

redelivery to Alumax. NGT states that the estimated volumes to be
delivered through this tap are approximately 182,500 MMBtu annually and
750 MMBtu on a peak day. NGT indicates that the volumes delivered are
within ARKLA's certificated entitlement and NGT's tariff does not
prohibit the addition of new delivery points. NGT further indicates
that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries without
detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. It is indicated that
the estimated cost of construction is $42,264, and that ARKLA will
reimburse NGT for all construction costs.
