ONEOK - STV8-01 STATION (AIR) - Oil Extraction Facility in Hugoton, Kansas

ONEOK - STV8-01 STATION (AIR) is an oil extraction facility located in Hugoton, Kansas, within the United States. The facility is operational and serves as a gathering or processing station for crude oil and natural gas production in the region. Its location in Stevens County places it within the Hugoton Gas Field, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America, which also produces significant volumes of oil and natural gas liquids. 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 gas operations. State-level regulations from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) also apply. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211120, 211130) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction, natural gas extraction, and natural gas liquid extraction, reflecting a multi-product operation typical of the region. As part of the ONEOK network, this station contributes to the midstream infrastructure that connects production wells to downstream markets. The facility's role in gathering and processing hydrocarbons supports the broader energy supply chain, with environmental considerations including air emissions management and spill prevention under the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid High Plains region of southwestern Kansas, where water resources are limited and groundwater from the Ogallala Aquifer is critical for agriculture and communities. Oil extraction activities must manage air emissions, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, under EPA regulations. The proximity to agricultural land requires careful handling of produced water and potential spills to protect soil and water quality.
