LONGINO-GOODE NO 7 NO 11 & NO 12 TANK BATTERIES - Oil Extraction Facility in Haynesville, Louisiana

LONGINO-GOODE NO 7 NO 11 & NO 12 TANK BATTERIES is an oil extraction facility located in Haynesville, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, United States. The facility is situated in the Haynesville Shale, a prolific natural gas and oil field that has been a key contributor to domestic energy production. As a tank battery, it serves as a collection point for crude oil and associated fluids from multiple wells, facilitating storage and transfer to pipelines or trucks. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). Oil extraction operations in Louisiana are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas production, and the Clean Water Act (CWA) for stormwater and produced water management. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) classify it as crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, indicating a focus on upstream production. Tank batteries like this one play a critical role in the oil and gas supply chain by separating oil, gas, and water, and storing crude oil before transport. The Haynesville area is known for its high-pressure reservoirs and significant natural gas production, though oil extraction also occurs. The facility's operational status and location in a rural area suggest it supports local energy infrastructure and economic activity.

The facility is located in the Haynesville Shale region, which has experienced extensive drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Local environmental concerns include potential groundwater contamination from well casing failures, air emissions from flaring and equipment leaks, and surface spills of produced water or crude oil. The area's geology and hydrology require careful management of waste fluids to protect water resources. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and LDEQ aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and inspection programs.
