Specifically, Transwestern proposes to abandon in place or offer by sale, approximately 33.4 miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline which begins at the discharge of the Gomez Processing Plant near the city of Ft. Stockton in Pecos County, Texas and traverses in a northeasterly direction to an interconnect with Transwestern's 24-inch West Texas Lateral near the town of Peyote in Ward County, Texas. As a result of the sale of the previously attached Gomez Gathering System, Transwestern asserts that the Gomez Lateral has been rendered underutilized and an unnecessary part of its pipeline system.
