ConocoPhillips - 32-8 CDP No3 Gas Pipeline Facility in Farmington, New Mexico

ConocoPhillips - 32-8 CDP No3 is a gas pipeline facility located at 5525 Hwy 64 in Farmington, San Juan County, New Mexico, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. As part of the extensive pipeline infrastructure in the San Juan Basin, it plays a role in the region's natural gas transmission network. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. Typical gas pipeline facilities in this region include compressor stations, metering stations, and pipeline segments that transport natural gas from production areas to processing plants or distribution networks. The scale of such facilities varies, with this facility likely serving as a gathering or transmission point. Environmentally, the facility is situated in the arid high desert of northwestern New Mexico, an area with significant natural gas production. Pipelines in this region must manage risks related to corrosion, ground movement, and proximity to sensitive habitats. The facility's role in the natural gas supply chain supports energy delivery but requires adherence to strict safety and environmental standards to protect local ecosystems and communities.

The facility is located in the San Juan Basin, a major natural gas-producing region with arid high desert terrain. Pipelines here face risks from soil corrosion and seismic activity. Proximity to the San Juan River and sensitive habitats necessitates robust cathodic protection and leak detection systems. The facility's operations are subject to environmental regulations to minimize impact on local wildlife and water resources.
