Overview
LIQUID ENERGY/STEVENS OBRIEN CS______579 is an operational gas pipeline facility located 45 miles northeast of Roswell, New Mexico, United States. It operates under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
LIQUID ENERGY/STEVENS OBRIEN CS______579 is a gas pipeline facility situated in Chaves County, New Mexico, approximately 45 miles northeast of Roswell. As part of the United States' extensive pipeline infrastructure, it plays a role in the transportation of natural gas within the region. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210, which covers pipeline transportation of natural gas. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This regulatory framework ensures standards for design, construction, testing, and maintenance, including cathodic protection and leak detection. The facility's location in a rural area of southeastern New Mexico aligns with typical gas pipeline routing through less densely populated corridors. This pipeline facility contributes to the regional energy grid by transporting natural gas from production areas to distribution networks. Its operational status indicates ongoing service in support of local and regional energy needs. The surrounding landscape, characterized by arid plains and agricultural land, influences the environmental management practices required for pipeline integrity and safety.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern New Mexico, characterized by low precipitation and sensitive desert ecosystems. Pipeline operations in such areas require careful management to prevent soil erosion and protect native vegetation. Proximity to agricultural land and potential water sources necessitates robust leak detection and cathodic protection systems to minimize environmental impact.
