[Docket No. CP97-262-000]
Ashland Exploration, Inc.; Notice of Application
March 24, 1997.
Take notice that on March 21, 1997, Ashland Exploration, Inc.
(Ashland), 14701 Saint Mary's Lane, Houston, Texas 77079, completed the
filing of an application for abandonment pursuant to Section 7(b) of
the Natural Gas Act initially submitted on February 24, 1997. Ashland
requests authorization to abandon, by sale, its jurisdictional
facilities in the Martha Field to Meridian Exploration Corp. and Abarta
Oil & Gas Company, Inc., all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to the public for
inspection.
The facilities to be abandoned consist of approximately 29.6 miles
of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter pipeline extending from the outlet of
Ashland's gas processing plant in Lawrence County, Kentucky to the
point where those facilities intersect with the facilities of Tennessee
Gas Pipeline Company near Burnaugh, Kentucky, and three associated
field taps.
Any persons desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before
[[Page 14896]]
April 14, 1997, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 the proceeding or to 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 the 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 the request should be granted. 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 Ashland to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
