Delta Duck Club CF #5 Tank Battery #3 - Oil Extraction Facility in Venice, Louisiana

Delta Duck Club CF #5 Tank Battery #3 is an oil extraction facility located in Venice, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a tank battery for crude oil gathering and initial processing in the Mississippi River Delta region. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act Refinery MACT standards and BSEE offshore safety requirements. As a tank battery, it collects crude oil from multiple wells, separates gas and water, and stores oil for transport. The region's oil infrastructure is heavily concentrated along the Gulf Coast, with extensive pipeline networks and refining capacity. This facility is part of the larger Delta Duck Club field, contributing to Louisiana's significant oil production. The state's oil industry is a major economic driver, with extensive environmental oversight from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the EPA. The facility's coastal location requires adherence to spill prevention and response protocols under the Oil Pollution Act.

The facility is situated in the Mississippi River Delta, a ecologically sensitive coastal wetland ecosystem. Oil extraction in this region poses risks of spills and habitat disruption, particularly to marshlands and aquatic life. Regulatory frameworks such as the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act mandate spill prevention and response plans. The area's subsidence and hurricane vulnerability add operational challenges for infrastructure integrity.
