Flywheel Energy S. Brownie #2 Gas Pipeline, Hattieville, Arkansas

Flywheel Energy's S. Brownie #2 is a gas pipeline facility located in Hattieville, Conway County, Arkansas, USA. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas transportation infrastructure in the region. As a gas pipeline, it contributes to the distribution of natural gas from production areas to end-users, supporting energy supply in Arkansas and beyond. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. 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. The specific technical specifications such as pipeline length, diameter, and capacity are not publicly detailed in this record. The environmental and operational significance of this facility lies in its role within the broader natural gas grid, providing reliable energy to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Pipelines like this one are critical for energy security and economic activity in the region, while also requiring careful management to minimize environmental impacts such as methane emissions and land disturbance.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Conway County, Arkansas, near the Arkansas River Valley. The surrounding landscape includes agricultural land and forested areas, with proximity to waterways that could be affected by potential pipeline leaks. The transport of natural gas through this pipeline carries inherent risks of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, and requires robust cathodic protection and leak detection systems to safeguard local ecosystems and water resources.
