ONEOK - Lateral G-06 Station: Oil Extraction Facility in Ulysses, Kansas

ONEOK - Lateral G-06 Station is an oil extraction facility located in Ulysses, Grant County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the regional oil and gas supply chain, serving the broader Mid-Continent oil-producing region. 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) regulations. As an oil extraction site, it is subject to air quality standards under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and spill prevention requirements under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its involvement in both crude oil and natural gas liquids production. The facility's location in southwestern Kansas places it within the Hugoton Embayment, a major natural gas and oil-producing area. Its operations contribute to the local economy and energy supply, with typical extraction activities involving wellhead separation, storage, and pipeline transfer. The environmental context includes the semi-arid climate and agricultural land use, requiring careful management of water resources and emissions.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southwestern Kansas, where water scarcity is a key environmental concern. Oil extraction activities require water for drilling and hydraulic fracturing, potentially impacting local aquifers. Air emissions from engines, flares, and storage tanks contribute to regional air quality, regulated under the EPA's CAA. Spill risks are managed through containment and reporting protocols under the CWA and state regulations.
