(202)502-8659. 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 skid-mounted control enclosure, fuel gas metering skid, and appurtenant facilities. The proposed replacement will
(1)increase Line F's available year-round, 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.
