MERIT ENERGY - EUBANK B STATION (AIR) Gas Pipeline Facility in Satanta, Kansas

MERIT ENERGY - EUBANK B STATION (AIR) is a gas pipeline facility located in Satanta, Haskell County, Kansas, United States. The facility is part of the extensive pipeline infrastructure that supports natural gas and hazardous liquid transport in the region. As an operational station, it plays a role in the midstream segment of the energy supply chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT), specifically 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines and Part 195 for hazardous liquids. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211120, 486210) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction, natural gas extraction, and pipeline transportation of natural gas. The station's location in Kansas places it within a major energy corridor, where pipeline infrastructure is critical for connecting production areas to refineries and end users. Environmentally, the facility's proximity to agricultural areas and rural communities in southwestern Kansas necessitates careful monitoring of pipeline integrity and leak prevention. The region's semi-arid climate and reliance on groundwater resources make spill prevention and cathodic protection important for minimizing environmental impact. The station contributes to the reliable transport of energy resources, supporting local economies and national energy security.

The facility is situated in Haskell County, Kansas, a region characterized by agricultural land and a semi-arid climate. Pipeline infrastructure in this area must address risks related to soil erosion, groundwater protection, and wildlife habitat. Cathodic protection systems and regular integrity inspections are essential to prevent leaks that could affect local water resources and ecosystems.
