[Docket No. CP98-158-000]


Warren Transportation, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 23, 1997, Warren Transportation, Inc. 
(WTI), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002-5050, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-158-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct, own and 
operate a new delivery point in Garfield County, Oklahoma, to 
accommodate deliveries to Transok Inc. (Transok) an Oklahoma intrastate 
pipeline company. WTI makes such request under its blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP97-281-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    WTI states that this request to construct and operate a delivery 
point to Transok, is at the request of Natural Gas Clearinghouse (NGC) 
a current shipper on WTI's system, and as a result of the current 
consolidation of the processing and gathering facilities of Warren. The 
delivery facilities will be comprised of dual 8-inch meter tubes for 
bi-directional purposes, capable of delivering up to 68,000 Dt. per day 
at a MAOP of 960 psi, although initial volumes are estimated at 15,000 
Dt. per day. In addition, approximately 280 feet of 8-inch coated and 
wrapped pipe of .219 wall thickness will be installed to connect WTI 
and Transok. WTI states that it's tariff does not prohibit the addition 
of new delivery points, and states that it will transport gas and 
provide service under its Rate Schedule FTS and ITS. WTI estimates this 
project will cost approximately $161,875.
    WTI states that it provides open-access transportation services, 
pursuant to a certificate issued by the Commission in Docket No. CP97-
279, et. al., and the Commission's Regulations found at 18 CFR Part 
284, and transports natural gas approximately 27 miles from the 
tailgate of Warren NGL Inc.'s (Warren) Rodman Processing Plant in 
Garfield County, Oklahoma to an interconnect with Williams Natural Gas 
Company, located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. It is further stated that 
Warren currently has a delivery point with Transok at the tailgate of 
its Ringwood Plant, stating that gas production behind the Ringwood 
Plant is being consolidated to Warren's Rodman Plant, the tailgate 
volumes of which are delivered to WTI. WTI indicates that this 
consolidation will make the existing Warren-Transok interconnect 
unavailable due to lower line pressures, and state that in order for 
the production behind the Ringwood Plant to continue to be delivered to 
Transok, WTI must establish the delivery point requested by the filing 
in this proceeding. WTI avers that in order to provide service 
requested by shippers, the installed facilities will be bi-directional, 
allowing gas to be received from Transok or delivered to Transok, 
depending on market conditions. (WTI states that when this point is 
used to receive gas from Transok, the point will function as a gas 
supply facility, qualifying as an eligible facility for automatic 
authorization.)
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

Acting Secretary.
