2. Colorado Interstate Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-645-000]

    Take notice that on July 27, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed an 
application pursuant to Sections 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for an 
order permitting and approving the abandonment of approximately 4.3 
miles of a 10-inch lateral pipeline located in Sweetwater County, 
Wyoming and certain certificated gathering lines connected to the 
lateral, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    CIG states the facilities were originally certificated in Docket 
Nos. G-16904 and G-18430.1 CIG states that it has an agreement 
with Texaco Exploration and Production Inc. (Texaco) whereby the 
pressure of the lateral that is the subject of the abandonment will be 
lowered. Currently, the lateral is connected to the discharge of CIG's 
Table Rock Compressor Station and is part of CIG's transmission system. 
CIG proposes to lower the pressure in the lateral by making minor 
changes to the pipes and valves and thereby allowing additional 
production from seven Texaco wells connected to the lateral. CIG also 
proposes to reclassify the lateral from transmission function to the 
gathering function because of the proposed reconfiguration of the 
lateral. CIG states that the current net book value of the lateral is 
$33,453, as of May 31, 1995.

    \1\ See, Opinion No. 393, 30 FPC 77, 93-94 (1963) and 31 FPC 694 
(1964), respectively.
