LLANO, INC. GRAMA RIDGE 1A COMPRESSOR ST - Gas Pipeline Compressor Station in Eunice, New Mexico

LLANO, INC. GRAMA RIDGE 1A COMPRESSOR ST is a gas pipeline compressor station situated in Lea County, New Mexico, approximately 24 miles west of Eunice. As part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure, it plays a role in maintaining pressure and flow within the pipeline network. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. The compressor station 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 the safe transportation of natural gas. Typical compressor stations in this region use reciprocating or centrifugal compressors powered by natural gas engines or turbines. The facility's scale is consistent with regional gas gathering and transmission systems serving the Permian Basin. This compressor station supports the regional natural gas grid, facilitating the transport of gas from production areas to processing plants and end users. Its location in southeastern New Mexico places it within a major oil and gas producing region, contributing to energy supply for domestic and industrial markets. The operational status ensures continued reliability of gas transmission in the area.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern New Mexico, characterized by sparse vegetation and low population density. Proximity to oil and gas production areas may involve considerations for air emissions from compressor engines and potential noise impacts. Pipeline infrastructure in this area typically requires cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion, and regular inspections are mandated under PHMSA regulations to minimize leak risks.
