DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
Production Act of 1993--Gas Utilization Research Forum
Notice is hereby given that, on September 23, 1996, pursuant to
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), the Participants in the
Supplemental Study, titled ``LNG Floating Production, Storage and
Offloading Facility Study'', performed as an extension to the Gas
Utilization Research Forum (``GURF'') Project No. 2, has filed written
notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal
Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties to the
Supplemental Study and (2) the purpose and objectives of the
Supplemental Study. The notifications were filed for the purpose of
extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust
plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances.
Specifically, the parties to the Supplemental Study and GURF Project
No. 2 are: Amoco Production Company, Houston, TX; Chevron Research and
Technology Company, Richmond, CA; Gaz de France, Research Division,
Nantes Cedex 01, FRANCE; Mobil Technology Company, Dallas, TX; and
Texaco Natural Gas International, Houston, TX. The contemplated
research and development work for the Supplemental Study is to be
carried out under contract with the foregoing Participants by M.W.
Kellogg Company, 601 Jefferson Avenue, Houston, TX 77002. The purpose
of the Supplemental Study is to investigate the feasibility of
establishing a vessel as a floating LNG facility designed to liquefy
and export approximately one hundred twenty to one hundred forty (120-
140) million standard cubic feet of liquefied natural gas per day. The
objectives of the Supplemental Study are to select a low cost plant and
determine the preferred liquefaction process and vessel configuration,
and then to develop a preliminary production vessel description and
definition; a conceptual design basis for the production vessel, e.g.,
capacity, equipment layout, feed gas, etc.; and a preliminary capital
and preliminary operating cost estimate for the production vessel.
The Participants intend to file additional written notification
disclosing all changes in the membership of the group of Participants
involved in this Supplemental Study.
Information on the Supplemental Study may be obtained from Robert
J. Motal, Chevron Research and Technology Company, 100 Chevron Way,
#50-4314, Richmond, CA 94802-0627.
On May 15, 1995, GURF filed its original notification pursuant to
Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a notice
in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on June 20,
1995 (60 FR 32170).
