ONEOK - FN2-01 Station Oil Extraction Facility in Garden City, Kansas

ONEOK - FN2-01 Station is an oil extraction facility located in Garden City, Finney County, Kansas, United States. The facility is part of ONEOK's midstream infrastructure, focusing on the gathering and processing of crude oil from regional wells. Kansas is a significant oil-producing state, with operations primarily in the Anadarko Basin and the Hugoton Embayment. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Oil extraction facilities like this one are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulfur dioxide. Additionally, the facility must comply with spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC) plans under the Clean Water Act. As a midstream asset, ONEOK - FN2-01 Station plays a critical role in connecting upstream production to downstream refineries and markets. The facility's operational status ensures continued support for regional oil production, contributing to energy supply and local economic activity. Its location in Garden City places it within a network of pipelines and processing plants that serve the broader Kansas oil industry.

The facility is situated in the High Plains region of Kansas, an area characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Oil extraction activities can pose risks of soil and groundwater contamination from spills or leaks of crude oil and produced water. The region's shallow aquifers, including the Ogallala Aquifer, are sensitive to such contamination. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's SPCC rules and state-level well construction standards aim to mitigate these risks.
