Devonian State Battery Gas Pipeline Facility in Eunice, New Mexico

Devonian State Battery is a gas pipeline facility located in Eunice, Lea County, New Mexico, within the Eumont Field. As part of the United States' extensive pipeline infrastructure, it plays a role in the transportation of natural gas from production areas to processing and distribution networks. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210, which covers pipeline transportation of natural gas. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance, as well as integrity management programs to prevent leaks and ruptures. Typical gas pipeline facilities in New Mexico are part of a network that connects the Permian Basin to major markets. Devonian State Battery contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, supporting the delivery of natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Its location in Lea County places it in a key area for oil and gas production, where pipeline infrastructure is critical for efficient transport. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing activity in the region's energy sector.

The facility is situated in the arid climate of southeastern New Mexico, an area with significant oil and gas activity. Proximity to populated areas and waterways is a consideration for pipeline safety. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of leaks and potential environmental impacts, mitigated by regulatory compliance and cathodic protection systems.
