Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP97-181-000]
Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Application
January 15, 1997.
Take notice that on January 3, 1997, Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed
in Docket No. CP97-181-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(c) and
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authority to convert two
existing injection/withdrawal wells in CIG's Flank Storage Field in
Baca County, Colorado, to observation wells, and to abandon the
wellhead facilities and gathering lines to the two injection/withdrawal
wells, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to the public for inspection.
CIG states that the subject two injection/withdrawal wells proposed
for conversion to observation wells have failed to function as
injection/withdrawal wells to any appreciable extent even after CIG
attempted to stimulate the wells by conducting hydraulic fracture
treatment. However, because of their location in the storage field, the
wells will be of value as observation wells by using electric logs to
provide information concerning the integrity of the seal in the
reservoir.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before February 5, 1997,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
N.E., 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 and 385.211) and the Regulations under
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the
Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties
to the proceeding. 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.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that the request should be granted. If a motion for leave to
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for CIG to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
