BLUESTEM PIPELINE - HOUSEL TAP STATION (DEHY AMIN) - Oil Extraction Facility in Kansas

BLUESTEM PIPELINE - HOUSEL TAP STATION (DEHY AMIN) is an oil extraction facility located in Housel Tap Station, Labette County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry, specifically in natural gas dehydration and amine treatment to remove impurities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its involvement in both oil and natural gas liquids extraction. Typical technologies at such stations include glycol dehydration units and amine scrubbing systems for gas conditioning. As part of the Bluestem Pipeline system, this tap station contributes to the efficient transport and processing of hydrocarbons from the Mid-Continent region. Its location in southeastern Kansas places it within a region with a history of oil and gas production, supporting local energy infrastructure and supply chains.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Labette County, Kansas, characterized by agricultural land and scattered oil and gas operations. The environmental context includes potential risks associated with natural gas processing, such as emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, as well as the management of produced water and amine waste. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's Clean Air Act and Kansas air quality regulations helps mitigate these impacts.
