Overview
KEY GAS - BURDETTE #2 STATION (DEHY) is an oil extraction facility located near Hanston, Kansas, USA. It operates as a dehydration station for natural gas processing.
KEY GAS - BURDETTE #2 STATION (DEHY) is an oil extraction facility situated approximately 6 miles northeast of Hanston, Kansas, in Hodgeman County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both oil and gas processing. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level Kansas Department of Health and Environment. As a dehydration station, it likely uses glycol or solid desiccant systems to remove water vapor from natural gas, a common midstream process. The facility's scale is typical for a rural gas processing plant in the Midcontinent region. This station contributes to the regional energy infrastructure by processing natural gas from nearby wells, supporting local oil and gas production. Its location in the Hugoton Embayment, a major natural gas-producing area, underscores its significance in the broader US energy supply chain.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid agricultural region of western Kansas, where water resources are limited. Dehydration processes can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, which are regulated under EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas facilities. Spills of produced water or hydrocarbons could impact local soils and groundwater, though the area's low population density reduces exposure risk.
