Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-562-000]
Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
June 23, 1999.
Take notice that on June 15, 1999, Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C.
(Destin), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, tendered for
filing in Docket No. CP99-562-000 a request pursuant to sections
157.205, 157.208, and 211 of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.208, and 157.211) for
authorization to construct, install and operate a lateral pipeline and
appurtenant facilities under Destin's blanket certificate issued in
Docket Nos. CP96-657-000 and 001, all as more fully set forth in the
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
The lateral would accommodate the transportation of natural gas
production from a new production platform to be located in Main Pass
Block 283 (Main Pass 283 Platform) for connection into Destin's 24-inch
lateral line in Main Pass Block 279 (Main Pass 279) for ultimate
delivery to downstream pipeline interconnections in southern and
central Mississippi.
Specifically, Destin is proposing to construct, install and operate
(i) approximately one thousand three hundred fifty (1,350) feet of 12-
inch OD lateral pipeline from the Main Press 283 Platform to a subsea
tap on Destin's existing 24-inch lateral in Main Pass 279, in Federal
Waters, Gulf of Mexico;
[[Page 35143]]
(ii) one (1) receipt measurement facility located on the Main Pass 283
Platform through which Destin will receive the natural gas produced
from the Main Pass 283 Platform; and (iii) one (1) delivery measurement
facility located on the Main Pass 283 Platform through which Destin
will deliver natural gas to the Main Pass 283 operator for start-up and
gas-lift needs.
The estimated cost of the construction and installation of the
facilities in $4.6 million. However, out of an abundance of caution and
concern for possible cost overruns that may cause the project to exceed
the $7.2 million limit for automatic authorization, Destin elected to
request authorization, Destin elected to request authorization pursuant
to the Commission's prior notice procedures.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
