ANADARKO - SOUTH BOOSTER STATION - Gas Pipeline Booster Station in Hugoton, Kansas

ANADARKO - SOUTH BOOSTER STATION is a gas pipeline facility located in Hugoton, Stevens County, Kansas, United States. The station is part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the region, supporting the movement of gas from production areas to distribution networks. Its operational status is active, and it plays a role in maintaining pressure and flow within the pipeline system. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a booster station, it is equipped with compression equipment to maintain gas pressure over long distances. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified under pipeline transportation of natural gas. Located in the Hugoton gas field area, one of the largest natural gas fields in the United States, this station contributes to the regional energy supply. Its operation supports the delivery of natural gas to end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain operational risks.

The station is situated in the High Plains region of southwestern Kansas, an area characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Proximity to waterways is limited, but the facility's operations involve natural gas, which poses risks of leaks or ruptures that could affect local air quality and soil. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent pipeline corrosion, a key environmental consideration for gas infrastructure.
