Overview
American Energies Pipeline - Doze Station (Dehy) is an oil extraction facility located in Kingman County, Kansas, United States. It operates as a dehydration station within the broader pipeline network.
American Energies Pipeline - Doze Station (Dehy) is an oil extraction facility situated in Doze Comp. Sta., Kingman County, Kansas. The facility is operational and serves as a dehydration station, likely removing water and impurities from crude oil before transport. Its location in the Mid-Continent region places it within a mature oil-producing area with extensive pipeline infrastructure. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas extraction and state-level Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) oversight. Dehydration stations typically use glycol or desiccant systems to meet pipeline-quality specifications. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate involvement in both oil and gas liquids processing. As part of the American Energies Pipeline network, this station contributes to the efficient transport of crude oil from regional wells to refineries. Its role in reducing water content and stabilizing crude minimizes corrosion risks in pipelines and enhances downstream processing efficiency. The facility supports local energy supply chains and economic activity in Kingman County.
Environmental context
Oil extraction and dehydration operations in Kansas are subject to EPA's Clean Air Act regulations, including NSPS for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from storage vessels and dehydrators. The facility's inland location reduces coastal spill risks, but groundwater protection is critical due to potential brine and hydrocarbon releases. Kansas has a history of oil production dating to the 19th century, with many legacy wells requiring ongoing management of produced water and emissions.
