ONEOK Bradshaw Station (Air) - Oil Extraction Facility in Syracuse, Kansas

ONEOK Bradshaw Station (Air) is an oil extraction facility located in Syracuse, Hamilton County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the regional oil and gas supply chain, serving the broader Midcontinent oil-producing region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and natural gas production. Kansas state regulations also apply, covering emissions, safety, and operational permits. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211120, 211130) indicate crude petroleum extraction, natural gas extraction, and natural gas liquid extraction, reflecting a multi-product operation. As part of ONEOK's infrastructure, this station contributes to the gathering and processing of hydrocarbons in the region. Its location in western Kansas places it within the Hugoton Embayment, a significant natural gas and oil area. The facility's operational status underscores its ongoing role in supporting domestic energy production and local economic activity.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Kansas, where oil and gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. Emissions from extraction operations, including volatile organic compounds and methane, are regulated under EPA's NSPS and state air quality programs. The area's low population density reduces direct human exposure, but ecological receptors such as grasslands and wildlife may be affected by habitat fragmentation and potential spills.
