CP82–384–000, et. al., filed an application in accordance to sections 157.210 and 157.217(b) of the Commission’s Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, to replace compression facilities at the Ruston Storage Compressor Station located in Lincoln Paris, Louisiana, all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

The Ruston Storage Compressor Station (Ruston) was constructed in 1969 and consists of one 4,000 horsepower (hp) Worthington MLV–14 reciprocating compressor unit which was originally installed over 40 years ago. CenterPoint has determined that Ruston needs additional operating flexibility to dedicate compression directly to storage injection and since CenterPoint can no longer purchase replacement parts for the existing compressor unit, CenterPoint proposed to replace the Worthington unit with a 4,735 hp CAT unit, comprised of a skidmounted control enclosure, fuel gas metering skid, and appurtenant facilities. The proposed replacement will (1) increase Line F’s available yearround, firm capacity east of Ruston, from 147.4 MMcf/day to 162.5 MMcf/ day; (2) increase Ruston’s injection deliverability from 33 MMcf/day to 34.5 MMcf/day; and (3) increase Line F’s available peak day capacity east of Ruston, from 286.4 MMcf/day to 291.3 MMcf/day. The proposed replacement will not result in any changes to the certificated parameters of the Ruston Storage Field. The estimated cost of the proposed project is $13.9 million, which will be financed by available funds and/ or short-term borrowings. Any questions concerning this application may be directed to B. Michelle Willis, Manager, Regulatory and Compliance, CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company, P.O. Box 21734, Shreveport, Louisiana 71151, (318) 429–3708, or email at Mitchelle.
