[Docket No. CP94-233-000]
Chandeleur Pipe Line Co.; Application
February 22, 1994.
Take notice that on February 14, 1994, Chandeleur Pipe Line Company
(Chandeleur), P.O. Box 740339, New Orleans, LA 70174, filed in Docket
No. CP94-233-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act for a certificate of public convenience and necessity
authorizing the increase of maximum operating pressures and total
system maximum capacity of its pipeline, all as more fully set forth in
the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Chandeleur states that it consists of a 79.9 mile 12-inch mainline,
a parallel 82.3 mile 16-inch mainline (which loops the 12-inch line)
and an 11.3 mile 12-inch lateral gas supply pipeline. The maximum
operating pressure of the 12-inch mainline is 1100 psig. The maximum
operating pressure of the 16-inch mainline 1000 psig. The maximum
operating pressure of the 12-inch lateral is 1318 psig. The current
authorized system capacity is 205,000 Mcf per day, with maximum
capacity of 240,000 Mcf per day.
Specifically, Chandeleur requests authorization to increase the
maximum operating pressures of both its 12-inch and 16-inch mainlines
to 1200 psig. Chandeleur states that it has recently completed a new
interconnection with Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation's
(``TETCO'') 24-inch mainline in offshore Louisiana in OCS Breton Sound
Block 42 for the purpose of allowing Chandeleur's shippers to transport
gas into TETCO's system, thereby increasing the shippers' delivery
options. Chandeleur states that TETCO's maximum operating pressure is
1200 psig. To allow delivery of natural gas from Chandeleur into
TETCO's 24-inch mainline when TETCO is operating at maximum pressure,
Chandeleur states that its maximum operating pressure must match
TETCO's and therefore must be increased to 1200 psig.
Chandeleur states that the requested increase in pressure to 1200
psig is within maximum allowable operating pressures for Chandeleur's
pipeline as established by the Department of Transportation.
Chandeleur states that the requested increase in operating pressure
and maximum capacity will allow its current and future shippers to
increase the amount of gas they can transport to existing markets and
to new markets which are not now economically accessible through
Chandeleur.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 3, 1994, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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 18
CFR 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 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 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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. 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 Chandeleur to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
