Jones Compressor Station - Gas Pipeline Facility in Champion, Nebraska

Jones Compressor Station is a gas pipeline facility located in Champion, Chase County, Nebraska, United States. The station is operational and plays a role in the natural gas transmission network, supporting the transport of gas across the region. As a compressor station, it maintains pressure and flow within the pipeline system, ensuring efficient delivery to downstream markets. 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. The station's NAICS codes (211111 and 486210) indicate its involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction as well as natural gas pipeline transportation. Compressor stations of this type typically serve as critical nodes in regional gas transmission networks. Jones Compressor Station contributes to the energy infrastructure of Nebraska and the broader United States by facilitating the movement of natural gas. Its location in a rural area of Chase County minimizes proximity to dense populations, though it may be near agricultural lands and waterways. The station's operational status ensures continued support for gas supply reliability in the region.

The station is situated in a rural agricultural area of southwestern Nebraska, near the Republican River watershed. Pipeline infrastructure in this region typically crosses farmland and may intersect with irrigation canals and natural waterways. The transport of natural gas, while less hazardous than liquids, requires monitoring for methane leaks and adherence to PHMSA regulations for corrosion control and right-of-way maintenance. The facility's environmental impact is managed through standard pipeline safety practices.
