Duke Energy Field Services LLC (DEFS) filed Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday to suspend reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company said it is eligible for the suspension because it has fewer than 300 security holders. DEFS said it plans to continue providing investors with quarterly financial statements and annual audited financial statements through its web site at https://www.defs.com. Denver-based DEFS was formed by combining the Duke Energy and ConocoPhillips natural gas gathering and processing businesses. The company operates or has ownership in 66 plants and 59,000 miles of pipeline. Current handled volumes total 7.3 TBtu/d of natural gas and 363,000 bbl/d of gas liquids. DEFS also owns the general partnership share of TEPPCO Partners L.P., a publicly traded master limited partnership primarily engaged in the transportation of petroleum products.
