E8-27562. Port Barre Investments, LLC (d/b/a Bobcat Gas Storage); Notice of Amendment Application  

  • Start Preamble November 14, 2008.

    On November 5, 2008, Bobcat Gas Storage (Bobcat), pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and parts 157 and 284 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, filed to amend its certificate. The requested amendment would expand the Bobcat Gas Storage Project certificated in CP06-66-000 on April 19, 2007, as amended, to add working gas capacity totaling 24 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in three new salt dome storage caverns. The amendment would expand total storage project working gas capacity to 39.6 Bcf and add additional compression and pipeline interconnection facilities. Compression additions would increase maximum gas deliverability to 3.0 Bcf/d. Bobcat requests a finding that after the amendment the storage project's operation will not exercise market power with respect to the storage and hub services provided and that market-based rates may continue to be charged for these services.

    Questions concerning this application should be directed to Paul Bieniawski, Bobcat Gas Storage, 11200 Westheimer, Suite 625, Houston, TX 77042, (713) 800-3535 or Lisa Tonery, Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10103, (212) 318-3009.
