Conoco, Inc. v. Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Complaint

November 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 29, 1997, Conoco, Inc. (Conoco), 600 N. 
Dairy Ashford, ML-1034, Houston, Texas 77079, filed a complaint against 
Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG), pursuant to Rule 206 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.206), alleging 
violations by WNG of Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
fully set forth in the complaint on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Conoco states its belief that WNG has constructed and is about to 
begin operating an expansion of its pipeline facilities in Hemphill 
County, Texas, consisting of 13.5 miles of pipeline extending from the 
Williams Field Service Hobart Ranch plant to WNG's 26-inch Canadian-
Blackwell mainline. Conoco also states its belief that WNG will abandon 
its Pampa outlet line, which also runs from the WFS Hobart Ranch plant 
to WNG's Canadian-Blackwell line, as well as the Higgins compression 
facility, a 1,200 horsepower compressor located at the intersection of 
the Pampa and Canadian-Blackwell lines. Conoco requests that the 
Commission issue a cease and desist order to stop WNG from operating 
the facilities installed, to stop WNG from constructing additional 
facilities and from abandoning existing facilities. Conoco further 
requests that WNG be compelled to file applications for the certificate 
and abandonment authorizations for its activities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said complaint should file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or 
a protest in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All such

motions, together with the answer of Respondent to the complaint and 
motions filed with the Commission should be filed on or before November 
26, 1997. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
