Denbury Onshore LLC, Soso Central Processing Facility - Oil Extraction in Mississippi

Denbury Onshore LLC operates the Soso Central Processing Facility, an oil extraction plant located in Soso, Jones County, Mississippi. The facility is situated on County Road 5331 and serves as a central processing hub for crude oil produced in the region. As part of the United States' extensive oil infrastructure, it contributes to the country's domestic energy supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable state-level regulations in Mississippi. Oil extraction plants like this one typically involve separation of oil, gas, and water, as well as storage and transport. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both oil and natural gas liquids processing. Environmental considerations for oil extraction facilities include management of produced water, prevention of spills, and control of air emissions. The Soso facility's location in a rural area of Mississippi may reduce some risks associated with proximity to populated areas, but standard operational safeguards are essential to protect local ecosystems and groundwater.

The facility is located in a rural area of Jones County, Mississippi, characterized by forests and agricultural land. Oil extraction operations can impact local water resources through produced water disposal and potential spills. Air emissions from processing equipment and flaring may affect local air quality. The facility must comply with EPA regulations for oil and gas extraction, including spill prevention and control measures.
