ENERVEST CARGAS - CARGAS Compressor Station - Monroe Gas Field, Perryville, Louisiana

ENERVEST CARGAS - CARGAS Compressor Station is a natural gas pipeline facility located in Perryville, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. It serves the Monroe Gas Field, a historic natural gas producing region. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. As a compressor station on a natural gas pipeline, this facility maintains gas pressure to ensure efficient transport. It operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. Compressor stations are critical for long-distance gas transmission, and this facility supports regional energy infrastructure. The Monroe Gas Field has been a significant source of natural gas since the early 20th century. The compressor station plays a role in gathering and transporting gas from the field to downstream markets. Its location in rural Louisiana reflects the typical siting of such facilities near production areas, minimizing environmental impact on populated zones.

The facility is situated in a rural area near Perryville, Louisiana, with proximity to waterways and forested land. Natural gas compressor stations can pose risks of methane leaks and noise, but modern stations employ emission controls and cathodic protection to mitigate corrosion. The surrounding region is ecologically diverse, with wetlands and wildlife habitats, requiring careful operational practices to avoid disruption.
