[Docket No. CP95-501-000]
K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co.; Application
May 19, 1995.
Take notice that on May 16, 1995, K N Interstate Gas Transmission
Co. (KNI), P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed in Docket
No. CP95-501-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural
Gas Act for authorization to abandon by sale to Mountain Petroleum
Corporation (MPC) its Phuma Compressor Station facilities located in
Phillips County, Colorado, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
KNI proposes to abandon by sale to MPC one Ajax DPC42 compressor,
one glycol dehydrator and miscellaneous station pipeline and valves.
KNI states that its predecessor constructed the Phuma Compressor
Station in 1977 to compress gas that it purchased from MPC and gathered
through its adjacent gathering system for use as system supply. KNI
states that, due to the small amount of gas (100 Mcf per day) received
from MPC, the costs of operating the gathering system by K N Gas
Gathering, Inc. (KNGG) and the compressor station facilities by KNI
exceeded the revenues received to gather and compress the gas. KNI also
states that, in order to relieve KNGG and KNI of the high cost of
operating the facilities and still provide MPC with the opportunity to
produce its gas, KNI, KNGG and MPC have entered into a facilities
purchase and sale agreement whereby MPC would purchase the facilities.
It is indicated that, because of its non-jurisdictional status, the
gathering system has already been transferred to MPC by KNGG. It is
also indicated that because MPC is the only producer with gas supplies
connected to the Phuma facilities, no other party would be affected by
the proposed abandonment.
KNI states that MPC would purchase the compressor station,
dehydrator and appurtenant facilities at a price of $12,500.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before June 9, 1995, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 or
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 taken but will not serve to make
the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become
a party to a 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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
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 KNI to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
