Overview
CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Co Facility - Delhi Compressor Station is an operational gas pipeline compressor station in Holly Ridge, Louisiana, United States, supporting natural gas transmission infrastructure.
The CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Co Facility - Delhi Compressor Station is located in Holly Ridge, Richland Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is an operational compressor station within the natural gas pipeline network, classified under NAICS 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. The facility plays a role in maintaining pressure and flow in the regional gas transmission system. As a compressor station on a natural gas pipeline, the facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and must comply with 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. Compressor stations are critical for moving gas over long distances, and their design includes safety systems such as emergency shutdowns and pressure relief valves. The facility's location in Louisiana places it within a major hub for natural gas infrastructure in the United States. The Delhi Compressor Station contributes to the reliability of natural gas supply in the region, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. Its operation is integral to the broader pipeline grid that connects production areas in the Gulf Coast to markets across the country. The facility's environmental context involves proximity to agricultural and rural areas, with standard measures for leak detection and cathodic protection to ensure safe operation.
Environmental context
The compressor station is situated in a rural area of northeastern Louisiana, near agricultural land and waterways. Natural gas pipeline infrastructure in this region must manage risks related to soil erosion, floodplains, and potential impacts on local ecosystems. Standard environmental practices include vegetation management along rights-of-way and monitoring for methane leaks to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
