Klondike Field Production Facility - Oil Extraction in Ramah, Louisiana

The Klondike Field Production Facility is an oil extraction plant located in Ramah, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is currently operational and plays a role in the region's oil and gas production, contributing to the broader energy infrastructure of the Gulf Coast area. As an oil extraction facility, it operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state agencies. The facility's activities are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act, with specific requirements for emission controls and spill prevention. The Gulf Coast region is a major hub for oil extraction, with facilities typically ranging from small to large scale. The facility's location in Louisiana places it within a network of oil and gas infrastructure that supports downstream refining and petrochemical industries. Its operational status ensures continued contribution to local energy supply and economic activity, while regulatory compliance helps mitigate environmental risks associated with oil extraction.

The facility is situated in the Mississippi River Delta region, an ecologically sensitive area with extensive wetlands and coastal habitats. Oil extraction activities here pose risks of spills and habitat disruption. Regulatory frameworks such as the EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule and state-level coastal management programs aim to minimize these impacts. The facility's proximity to waterways necessitates robust containment and response measures.
