[Docket No. CP99-89-000]
Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
December 4, 1998.
Take notice that on November 23, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines
Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed
in Docket No. CP99-89-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon in place by sale to
Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc. (Texaco), approximately 7.4
miles of the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline (Line VOA), related service and
facilities located in Garvin County, Oklahoma, under Williams' blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000, pursuant to Section 7(c)
of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Williams proposes to abandon in place by sale to Texaco
approximately 7.4 miles of the Lindsay 16-inch lateral pipeline,
consisting of 8-inch, 10-inch, and 16-inch pipeline, and equipment
related to or used in connection with the operation of the pipeline,
beginning in Section 1, Township 4 North, Range 4 West Garvin, County,
Oklahoma, and extending to Section 5, Township 4 North, Range 2 West,
Garvin County, Oklahoma.
[[Page 68279]]
Williams states that the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline was constructed
to attach gas supplies in the Golden Trend area of central Oklahoma for
further transmission on Williams' general system. Williams declares
that in addition to providing a new source of major supplies of natural
gas for Williams' system, the facilities enabled them to maintain gas
inputs on the Blackwell-Oklahoma City portion of its system. Williams
asserts it has determined that the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline is no
longer required by Williams and will serve a more useful purpose as a
part of the Texaco pipeline system. With the abandonment proposed
herein, Williams declares that Texaco will own and operate the entire
Lindsay 16-inch lateral pipeline.
Williams states that the sales price of the line is $450,000 and
associated reclaim costs are $45,241.
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 therefore,
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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
