ONEOK - HUG-02 STATION Oil Extraction Facility in Hugoton, Kansas

ONEOK - HUG-02 STATION is an oil extraction facility located in Hugoton, Stevens County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the region's oil production infrastructure, contributing to the broader energy supply chain in the Midcontinent area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Oil extraction activities are subject to Clean Air Act regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for crude oil and natural gas production, as well as spill prevention and control requirements under the Clean Water Act. As part of ONEOK's midstream operations, the HUG-02 STATION supports the gathering and processing of crude oil from nearby wells. Its location in the Hugoton area, a historically significant oil and gas producing region, underscores its role in maintaining local energy infrastructure and economic activity.

The facility is situated in the High Plains region of southwestern Kansas, an area characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Oil extraction operations in this region must manage potential risks such as soil and groundwater contamination from spills, as well as air emissions from volatile organic compounds. Regulatory compliance with EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and state air quality permits is essential to mitigate environmental impacts.
