Bids for 812,000 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per day of additional firm capacity on WIC were received from 21 shippers by the close of the open season on Wednesday, Jan. 31, of which over half were at maximum rates for terms of ten years or greater. Coastals Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG) is also conducting an open season on its Wind River Lateral through Feb. 12, 1996. The specific size of the WIC expansion will be determined in March, at which time all conditions in bids we received are to have been met, and we will have finalized the precedent agreements, said Whitney, who is also president and chief executive officer of CIG. By early March, the open season on CIGs Wind River Lateral will have been completed, giving us further evidence of the amount of additional capacity that is needed. Nonetheless, it is clear that capacity will be expanded on WIC significantly beyond its current said 500,000 Mcf per day, Whitney.
