MOBIL EXPLORATION & PRODUCING U.S., INC. Gas Pipeline in Plowman #A-1, Kansas

MOBIL EXPLORATION & PRODUCING U.S., INC. operates a gas pipeline facility located in Plowman #A-1, Seward County, Kansas. As part of the United States' natural gas transmission infrastructure, this facility plays a role in the movement of natural gas from production areas to distribution networks. The pipeline 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 must comply with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance. Typical Kansas pipelines are subject to state and federal integrity management programs. Located in southwestern Kansas, this pipeline contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, supporting the transport of natural gas from the Hugoton Gas Field and other production areas. The facility's operational status indicates active service, and its location in a rural area reduces proximity to dense populations, though it may cross agricultural lands and waterways. The pipeline's role is integral to the local and national energy supply chain.

The pipeline is situated in Seward County, Kansas, a region characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Proximity to waterways and populated areas is a key environmental consideration for gas pipelines. Typical risks include potential leaks or ruptures affecting soil and water quality. The facility's compliance with PHMSA regulations, including leak detection and emergency response plans, helps mitigate environmental impact.
