The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the California State Lands Commission (SLC) have jointly prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for projects proposed by Mojave Pipeline Company and Kern River Gas Transmission Company. These primary projects are competing to transport natural gas from sources outside California to the Bakersfield, California area for use in enhanced-oil-recovery projects. In each case, producers of crude oil in the San Joaquin Valley would use the natural gas as boiler fuel to create steam, which would then be injected into the oil fields to produce crude oil not recoverable by primary recovery methods. Some of the steam would be used to generate electricity. The FEIS was prepared under the direction of the FERC and SLC staffs to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act.
