FERC staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Venice Gathering System Abandonment Project (Docket No. CP24-93-000), proposed by Venice Gathering System, L.L.C. The project would abandon in-place approximately 124.4 miles of 8-inch to 26-inch-diameter pipeline running from offshore South Timbalier Block 151 and West Delta Blocks 41 and 72 in the Gulf of America to an onshore interconnection with Venice Energy Services Company, L.L.C.'s natural gas processing plant near Venice, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. FERC staff concludes the project would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Comments are due by March 3, 2025.12
