[Docket No. SA98-37-000]
Pickrell Drilling Company, Inc., Notice of Petition for
Adjustment and Dispute Resolution Request
March 19, 1998.
Take notice that on March 9, 1998, Pickrell Drilling Company, Inc.
(Pickrell), filed a petition for an adjustment under Section 502(c) of
the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA 15 U.S.C. 3412(c)) and Rules
1101-1117 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.1101-385.1117), wherein Pickrell has requested, on behalf of first
sellers (First Sellers) \1\ for whom it operated, that the Commission:
(1) Resolve the pending dispute between First Sellers and ANR Pipeline
Company as to the proper amount of the refund liability of First
Sellers for the Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements set forth in the
Statement of Refunds Due (SRD) \2\ addressed to Pickrell; (2) waive any
refund obligation attributable to the royalty interest of Richard M.
Linehan, deceased; and (3) grant an adjustment to its procedures to
allow First Sellers to place into an escrow account not only the
disputed amount of the refund, but also (i) principal and interest on
amounts attributable to production prior to October 4, 1983, and (ii)
interest on all principal amounts claimed to be due under the SRD
(excluding interest included in the disputed amount or (i) above).
Pickrell also requested that it be determined that it was not a working
interest owner or First Seller of any of the production with respect to
which the tax reimbursements were made and
[[Page 14454]]
that it therefore has no liability under the SRD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ First Sellers are C.W. Sebits, Barbara Oil Company, Vera J.
Casado, Dane G. Hansen Trust, National Cooperative Refinery
Association, and David H. Tripp.
\2\ See Docket No. RP98-42-000.
