Goat Hill Compressor Station - Haughton, Louisiana Gas Pipeline Infrastructure

Goat Hill Compressor Station is a gas pipeline facility located in Haughton, Bossier Parish, Louisiana, United States. The station is operational and serves as a key component in the natural gas transmission network, supporting the transport of gas through pipelines in the region. Its location near Interstate 20 provides strategic access for pipeline operations. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. As a compressor station, it maintains pressure and flow within the pipeline system, ensuring efficient gas transmission. The station's NAICS codes (211111 and 486210) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction and natural gas pipeline transportation. Goat Hill Compressor Station contributes to the energy infrastructure of Louisiana, a state with extensive pipeline networks. Its role in maintaining gas flow supports local industrial and residential energy needs, as well as broader regional energy distribution. The facility's operational status ensures continued reliability in the natural gas supply chain.

The facility is situated in a region with a mix of rural and industrial land use. Proximity to waterways and populated areas may require careful monitoring of pipeline integrity and cathodic protection to prevent leaks. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of methane emissions, making regular inspections and compliance with PHMSA safety standards critical for environmental protection.
