MITO RESOURCES LLC / SNIDER 2 5 COMPRESSOR STATION - Gas Pipeline Facility in Bessie, Oklahoma

BESSIE, Oklahoma, United States

Overview

MITO RESOURCES LLC / SNIDER 2 5 COMPRESSOR STATION is an operational gas pipeline facility near Bessie, Oklahoma. It supports natural gas transmission in Washita County under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.

MITO RESOURCES LLC / SNIDER 2 5 COMPRESSOR STATION is an operational gas pipeline compressor station located near Bessie, Oklahoma, in Washita County. The facility is part of the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the United States, serving to maintain pressure and flow in the pipeline network. As a compressor station, it plays a critical role in ensuring efficient gas transport across the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211120, 486210) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, and natural gas pipeline transportation. While specific technical specifications such as pipeline length or capacity are not detailed, compressor stations of this type typically handle medium to high-pressure gas transmission. The station's location in rural Oklahoma places it within a region with significant oil and gas activity. Its operational status contributes to the reliability of natural gas supply for local and regional markets. The facility's proximity to agricultural and populated areas necessitates adherence to strict safety and environmental standards to minimize risks associated with gas pipeline operations.

Environmental context

The compressor station is situated in a rural area of Washita County, Oklahoma, characterized by agricultural land and scattered residential developments. Natural gas pipeline operations in this region must consider potential impacts on soil and water resources, particularly from accidental releases. The facility's proximity to waterways and populated areas requires robust cathodic protection and leak detection systems to prevent corrosion and ensure environmental safety. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA standards helps mitigate risks to local ecosystems and communities.

Frequently asked questions

The facility is located near Bessie, Oklahoma, in Washita County, at approximately 0.35 miles east of N2290 and E1080 Road.

A compressor station maintains pressure in natural gas pipelines to ensure steady flow over long distances. It compresses the gas to overcome friction losses and deliver it to downstream markets.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulates gas pipeline safety, including design, construction, operation, and maintenance standards.

Key risk factors include proximity to populated areas or waterways, pipeline age, corrosion (cathodic protection effectiveness), and the type of commodity transported. For natural gas, leaks can pose fire and explosion hazards.

These codes classify the facility's activities: 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction), 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), and 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas). They indicate involvement in upstream extraction and midstream transportation.
