Big West Oil, LLC, Chevron Products Company and Tesoro Refining 
and Marketing Company, Complainants, v. Alberta Energy Company, Ltd., 
Express Pipeline LLC and Platte Pipe Line Company, Respondents; Notice 
of Complaint

February 22, 2002.
    Take notice that on February 21, 2002, Big West Oil LLC (Big West), 
Chevron Products Company (Chevron), and Tesoro Refining and Marketing 
Company (Tesoro) tendered for filing a Complaint against Alberta Energy 
Company, Ltd. (AEC), Express Pipeline LLC (Express) and Platte Pipe 
Line Company (Platte).
    Big West, Chevron and Tesoro state in their Complaint that in order 
to transport crude oil and synthetic crude oil to their refineries in 
Salt Lake City, Utah, they must utilize a ``pump over'' facility that 
Platt Pipe Line Company operates in Casper, Wyoming. That pump over 
facility is used to transfer crude petroleum and synthetic crude oil in 
Casper, Wyoming from the Express pipeline to a pipeline operated by 
Frontier Pipeline Company. Big West, Chevron, and Tesoro allege that 
the fees being charged for the use of the Platte pump over facility are 
unjust and unreasonable and unduly discriminatory and unduly 
preferential and, therefore, in violation of the Interstate Commerce 
Act. Big West,

[[Page 9260]]

Chevron and Tesoro further maintain that AEC and Express are directly 
responsible for the pump over fees and that these fees improperly inure 
to their benefit.
