American Energies Pipeline - Harmac Station is an operational oil extraction facility located in Harmac Sta., Harvey County, Kansas, United States. The facility plays a role in the regional oil and gas supply chain, focusing on crude oil extraction and pipeline operations. Its location in the Mid-Continent region places it within a mature oil-producing area with extensive pipeline networks. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including EPA Clean Air Act standards for oil and gas operations and state-level Kansas Corporation Commission rules. Typical oil extraction facilities in this region employ conventional pumping units and gathering systems to transport crude to larger pipelines or refineries. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate a combined focus on oil and associated gas liquids. Environmental considerations for such facilities include potential impacts on local groundwater and soil from spills or leaks, as well as air emissions from engines and separators. The facility's rural setting in Harvey County reduces proximity to dense populations but requires adherence to best management practices for spill prevention and control. Its role in the regional energy infrastructure supports local employment and energy supply.

The facility is situated in Harvey County, Kansas, an area with a mix of agricultural and industrial land use. Oil extraction operations in this region must comply with EPA regulations for spill prevention (SPCC) and air quality standards for volatile organic compounds. The local environment includes groundwater aquifers used for irrigation and drinking water, making leak detection and containment critical. Typical mitigation measures include secondary containment, regular inspections, and vapor recovery units.
