1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, Circuit Judge.
The real issue in this case is whether all available natural gas reserves in the Pinehurst Field 1 must continue to be delivered to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee).

The Federal Power Commission held against Mitchell’s contentions. 2
The Order of the Federal Power Commission is affirmed.
