OWN RESOURCES - LAMPE STATION (DEHY) (AIR) is an operational oil extraction facility located in Cheyenne County, Kansas, United States. The facility is situated at Lampe Compressor Station and plays a role in the region's oil and gas infrastructure, focusing on dehydration and air compression for crude oil processing. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including EPA's Clean Air Act regulations for oil and gas operations, which govern emissions from dehydration and compression activities. Kansas oil extraction facilities typically follow state-level regulations aligned with federal standards, addressing air quality, water management, and waste disposal. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both oil and gas liquids production. As part of the broader oil extraction network in Kansas, this facility contributes to the state's energy supply. Its location in a rural area of Cheyenne County minimizes direct population exposure, but operational practices must manage potential environmental impacts such as air emissions and water usage. The facility's role in processing crude oil supports downstream refining and distribution.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Kansas, where water resources are limited and sensitive to contamination. Oil extraction operations like dehydration and compression can release volatile organic compounds and greenhouse gases, requiring compliance with EPA emission standards. Spill risks from produced water or crude oil necessitate containment measures to protect local soils and groundwater. The area's agricultural land use adds importance to maintaining environmental safeguards.
