Specifically, Southern Star proposes to drill two new horizontal I/W wells in order to replace up to eighteen (18) vertical I/W wells located within the City of Colony, Kansas in close proximity to residential homes. Southern Star will file a separate abandonment application to plug and abandon up to 18 vertical I/W wells after confirmation that the designed operational capabilities of the two new horizontal I/W wells will allow the field to maintain its current operational capacities. Southern Star states the proposed project will not result in any changes to the current geological interpretation of the storage reservoir, the certificated field boundary, or the operations parameters of the Colony Storage field. The cost of the project is estimated at $3,750,000. Southern Star also proposes to install and operate two new 6-inch storage lateral pipelines connecting the two new I/W wells to the storage gathering system.
