Pacific Lighting settled part of a suit.
The antitrust suit was filed last November by Union Oil and Texaco after Pacific stopped taking deliveries of natural gas from a field off the coast of Ventura County.

Pacific said it is continuing discussions with Texaco and hopes to reach a similar settlement.
