(Southern Star), 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed a prior notice application pursuant to sections 157.205, and 157.216(b) of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Columbia's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000. Southern Star requests authorization to construct, own and operate the Blue Mountain Chisholm Trail Project located in Grady and Carter Counties, Oklahoma. The proposed project consists of approximately 4.67 miles of 12[hyphen]inch diameter pipeline, associated above[hyphen]ground facilities, a booster compression site utilizing rental compressor units and a lateral to the delivery point, at a cost of $20,881,158, all as more fully set forth in the application which is open to the public for inspection. Blue Mountain Midstream LLC (Blue Mountain) has proposed construction of a new cryogenic gas processing plant in Grady County,\1\ Oklahoma, with an approximate inlet capacity of 250,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d). Southern Star's proposed project will receive up to 150,000 Dth/d of gas processed by this production facility for transport on its system. Of this volume, Southern Star has contractual commitments for firm transportation with Blue Mountain for a minimum delivery of 45,000 Dth/d to a proposed delivery point on Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) in Carter County, Oklahoma. The remaining capacity will enhance gas supply for existing customers on Southern Star's system. Southern Star and Blue Mountain have entered into a precedent agreement, interconnect agreement and will enter into an FTS Agreement, and Southern Star and NGPL have entered into an interconnect agreement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See application filed November 9, 2017, in Docket No. CP18- 14-000. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
