LANGLEY,JERRY OIL/ALPHIN #A-6 Gas Extraction Facility, Smackover, Arkansas

LANGLEY,JERRY OIL/ALPHIN #A-6 is a gas extraction facility located approximately 2 miles south of Smackover on Highway 7 in Union County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211111 for crude petroleum and natural gas extraction. It is situated in the Smackover oil field, a historically significant region for oil and gas production in the southern United States. As a gas extraction facility in the United States, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. The facility likely employs standard extraction technologies typical of the region, including wellhead equipment and separation units. The Smackover area has a long history of hydrocarbon extraction, with infrastructure dating back to the early 20th century. The facility contributes to the local energy supply chain, feeding natural gas into regional pipelines that serve industrial and residential consumers. Its location in a rural area reduces population density risks, but the age of the Smackover field may imply older infrastructure requiring ongoing maintenance. The facility's role in the broader gas grid supports energy reliability in Arkansas and neighboring states.

The facility is located in a rural area of southern Arkansas, near the Smackover oil field, which has been developed for over a century. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with occasional severe weather, including tornadoes and flooding, which could pose risks to above-ground infrastructure. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure to nearby communities. The facility's operational status suggests ongoing management of environmental impacts such as emissions and groundwater protection.
