Overview
KN Gas Gathering (Merged with 0750006) is an operational gas pipeline facility in Hamilton County, Kansas, United States. It operates under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
KN Gas Gathering (Merged with 0750006) is a gas pipeline facility located in S31-T21S-R40W, Hamilton County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas gathering infrastructure in the region. Gas gathering pipelines in Kansas typically range from small to medium scale, connecting production wells to processing plants. 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 cathodic protection, leak detection, and integrity management programs. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as pipeline transportation of natural gas. As a gas gathering pipeline, this facility plays a critical role in transporting natural gas from production areas to larger transmission systems. Its location in Hamilton County, part of the Hugoton Gas Field, places it in a region with significant natural gas production. The pipeline contributes to the energy supply chain, supporting local and regional energy needs.
Environmental context
The pipeline traverses the semi-arid High Plains region of western Kansas, an area with low population density but active agricultural and energy production. Proximity to waterways and populated areas is a consideration for pipeline safety. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of leaks or ruptures, which can affect soil and air quality. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion, a key risk factor for aging pipelines in this region.
