---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Bistineau Storage Facility is a converted gas producing 
reservoir and many of the original producing wells were converted to 
storage service by Gulf South in the late 1960's. Some of the existing 
well bores are over 50 years old and have begun to deteriorate either 
mechanically or operationally. Gulf South proposed to construct a new 
horizontal well to replace one or more of the existing vertical wells, 
which will be Gulf South D-21H drilled near the end of the D-lateral in 
Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Gulf South also proposes to construct 
approximately 0.06 miles of associated 8-inch lateral and appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed facilities will be used as an injection and 
withdrawal well. The project will not alter the Bistineau Storage 
Facility's total inventory, working gas/cushion gas ratio, reservoir 
pressure, reservoir or buffer boundaries, or certificated capacities, 
including injection and withdrawal capacity. The estimated cost of the 
proposed project is $3,500,000.
