Pioneer/Redfern No4 CDP Gas Pipeline Facility, Bloomfield, New Mexico, USA

Pioneer/Redfern No4 CDP is a gas pipeline facility situated 3.4 miles south of Bloomfield, New Mexico, in the San Juan Basin, a major natural gas producing region. The facility is classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas and is currently operational. As part of the US pipeline infrastructure, it contributes to the regional energy supply network. 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. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, cathodic protection, and leak detection. The San Juan Basin is known for its extensive natural gas production, and pipelines like this one are critical for transporting gas from production areas to processing and distribution points. Environmentally, the facility's location in a semi-arid region with proximity to the San Juan River watershed necessitates careful monitoring to prevent leaks or spills that could impact local water resources. The pipeline's role in the regional energy grid supports both residential and industrial consumers, and its operational status ensures continued energy delivery in the area.

The facility is located in the San Juan Basin, a region with significant natural gas production. The area's semi-arid climate and proximity to the San Juan River watershed require robust environmental safeguards to prevent pipeline leaks that could contaminate groundwater or surface water. Cathodic protection systems and regular integrity inspections are typical measures to mitigate corrosion-related risks.
