ANADARKO - PRILLMAN 1-26 STATION is an oil extraction facility located in Elkhart, Morton County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and is part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the region. Its NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) classify it under crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes oversight by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies such as the Kansas Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in Kansas typically involves conventional vertical wells and, in some areas, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The facility's scale is likely small to medium, given the regional context of Kansas oil production. Environmental considerations for oil extraction facilities include potential impacts on groundwater, air quality from volatile organic compounds, and land disturbance. The facility's location in a rural area of southwestern Kansas may reduce some risks but still requires adherence to state and federal regulations to minimize environmental footprint.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in the High Plains region of southwestern Kansas, an area characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Oil extraction activities can pose risks to groundwater quality, particularly through potential spills or leaks of produced water and hydrocarbons. Air emissions from equipment and flaring may affect local air quality. The region's low population density and agricultural setting influence the environmental risk profile.
