Warren Transportation, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

January 6, 1998.

Take notice that on December 23, 1997, Warren Transportation, Inc. (WTI), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002-5050, filedin Docket No. CP98-158-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct, own and operate a new delivery point in Garfield County, Oklahoma, to accommodate deliveries to Transok Inc. (Transok) an Oklahoma intrastate pipeline company. WTI makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP97-281-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

WTI states that this request to construct and operate a delivery point to Transok, is at the request of Natural Gas Clearinghouse (NGC) a current shipper on WTI's system, and as a result of the current consolidation of the processing and gathering facilities of Warren. The delivery facilities will be comprised of dual 8-inch meter tubes for bi-directional purposes, capable of delivering up to 68,000 Dt. per day at a MAOP of 960 psi, although initial volumes are estimated at 15,000 Dt. per day. In addition, approximately 280 feet of 8-inch coated and wrapped pipe of .219 wall thickness will be installed to connect WTI and Transok. WTI states that it's tariff does not prohibit the addition of new delivery points, and states that it will transport gas and provide service under its Rate Schedule FTS and ITS. WTI estimates this project will cost approximately $161,875.

WTI states that it provides open-access transportation services, pursuant to a certificate issued by the Commission in Docket No. CP97- 279, et. al., and the Commission's Regulations found at 18 CFR Part 284, and transports natural gas approximately 27 miles from the tailgate of Warren NGL Inc.'s (Warren) Rodman Processing Plant in Garfield County, Oklahoma to an interconnect with Williams Natural Gas Company, located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. It is further stated that Warren currently has a delivery point with Transok at the tailgate of its Ringwood Plant, stating that gas production behind the Ringwood Plant is being consolidated to Warren's Rodman Plant, the tailgate volumes of which are delivered to WTI. WTI indicates that this consolidation will make the existing Warren-Transok interconnect unavailable due to lower line pressures, and state that in order for the production behind the Ringwood Plant to continue to be delivered to Transok, WTI must establish the delivery point requested by the filing in this proceeding. WTI avers that in order to provide service requested by shippers, the installed facilities will be bi-directional, allowing gas to be received from Transok or delivered to Transok, depending on market conditions. (WTI states that when this point is used to receive gas from Transok, the point will function as a gas supply facility, qualifying as an eligible facility for automatic authorization.)

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 filedwithin 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. Linwood A. Watson, Jr. Acting Secretary.
