Overview
CHEROKEE BASIN - NEODESHA STATION (DEHY) is an operational gas pipeline facility in Neodesha, Kansas, United States. It serves as a dehydration station within the Cherokee Basin natural gas gathering system.
CHEROKEE BASIN - NEODESHA STATION (DEHY) is a gas pipeline facility located in Neodesha, Wilson County, Kansas. It operates as a dehydration station within the Cherokee Basin, a region known for natural gas production. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas, indicating its role in the midstream sector. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a dehydration station, it removes water vapor from natural gas to meet pipeline quality standards, a critical step in gas processing. The Cherokee Basin is a mature gas-producing area, and this station supports the regional infrastructure for gas gathering and transmission. This facility plays a key role in the natural gas supply chain for the region, ensuring that gas from the Cherokee Basin is processed and transported efficiently. Its operational status contributes to the energy infrastructure of Kansas and the broader United States, supporting both local industrial activity and downstream consumers. The station's location in a rural area with proximity to waterways and populated zones requires adherence to strict safety and environmental protocols.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a rural area of southeastern Kansas, near the Neosho River and within the Cherokee Basin, a region with a history of oil and gas development. The surrounding environment includes agricultural land and scattered residential areas. Pipeline infrastructure in this region must manage risks related to soil erosion, waterway crossings, and potential leaks. The dehydration process involves handling natural gas liquids and condensates, which require careful containment to prevent soil and water contamination. Regulatory compliance under PHMSA includes cathodic protection monitoring and leak detection programs to mitigate environmental impact.
