Evergreen Compressor Station - Gas Pipeline Facility in Dulce, New Mexico

Evergreen Compressor Station is a gas pipeline facility located approximately 18 miles west-southwest of Dulce, in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States. The station is operational and plays a role in the natural gas transmission network, serving the region's energy infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety in the United States. As a compressor station, it maintains pressure and flow within the pipeline system, ensuring efficient transport of natural gas across long distances. The station's location in rural New Mexico places it within a region with significant natural gas production and transportation activity. Its operation supports the delivery of natural gas to downstream markets, contributing to energy supply stability in the southwestern United States.

The facility is situated in a rural area of northern New Mexico, characterized by arid landscapes and proximity to the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Natural gas pipeline operations in this region must manage risks related to pipeline integrity, including corrosion protection and leak detection, to minimize environmental impact on local ecosystems and water resources.
