Overview
Jackson Dome CO2 Dehydration Facility is an oil extraction plant in Brandon, Mississippi, USA. It processes carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery, supporting regional energy infrastructure.
The Jackson Dome CO2 Dehydration Facility is an operational oil extraction plant located at 1919 Hollybush Road in Brandon, Rankin County, Mississippi. It serves the Jackson Dome natural CO2 reservoir, one of the largest in the United States, and is integral to CO2-enhanced oil recovery operations in the region. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations including the EPA Clean Air Act and state-level permitting. Its primary function is dehydrating raw CO2 from the Jackson Dome to meet pipeline specifications for transport to oil fields. The plant's NAICS code 211120 indicates crude petroleum extraction support activities. As part of the CO2 supply chain for enhanced oil recovery, this facility contributes to increased domestic oil production while enabling geological carbon storage. Its location in central Mississippi leverages proximity to both the CO2 source and major oil fields in the Gulf Coast region.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a rural area near Brandon, Mississippi, with the Pearl River watershed nearby. CO2 dehydration operations involve energy consumption and potential emissions of volatile organic compounds. The plant's role in enhanced oil recovery supports carbon sequestration, but also ties to fossil fuel production. Local environmental considerations include air quality permitting under the Clean Air Act and groundwater protection measures.
Frequently asked questions
