Murphy Exploration & Production Company v. Quivira Gas Company; 
Notice of Amendment to Complaint and Request for Refunds and 
Investigation of Transportation Rates

March 12, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 29, 1996, Murphy Exploration & 
Production Company (Murphy Exploration), P.O. Box 7000, Eldorado, 
Arkansas 71731-7000, filed in Docket No. CP95-735-001 an amendment to 
its complaint and request for refunds and investigation of 
transportation rates against Quivira Gas Company (Quivira) filed 
September 5, 1995, in Docket No. CP95-735-000 (Complaint).
    Murphy Exploration asserts that since its Complaint was originally 
filed in this proceeding, additional information has been received by 
Murphy Exploration which clearly demonstrates that Quivira's charges to 
Murphy Exploration as well as Quivira's interference with Murphy 
Exploration's exercise of its extraction or processing rights were and 
are discriminatory in violation of section 5 of the Outer Continental 
Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). Murphy Exploration also asserts that Quivira's 
rates and restrictions on access through interference with producer 
rights to the liquids and liquefiables removed from the gas stream 
violates the Commission's Policy Statement issued February 28, 1996, in 
Docket No. RM96-5-000.\1\

    \1\ 74 FERC para. 61,222 (1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Murphy Exploration states that it adopts and incorporates by 
reference all allegations and arguments in its September 5, 1995 
Complaint to include additional allegations to reflect recently 
uncovered evidence against Quivira.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make a protest with reference 
to the amendment to Murphy Exploration's complaint should file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in accordance 
with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 
or 385.214). All such motions, together with the answer of Respondent 
to the complaint and motions, should be filed on or before March 21, 
1996. Any person desiring to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
available for public inspection.
