Overview
SCOUT V HUGOTON GATHERING, LP is an operational gas pipeline facility in Hugoton, Kansas, United States. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT regulations for gas gathering pipelines.
SCOUT V HUGOTON GATHERING, LP is a gas pipeline facility located at 1548 State Highway 25 in Hugoton, Stevens County, Kansas. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. It serves as a gathering pipeline, collecting natural gas from production wells in the Hugoton gas field, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America. 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. Gathering pipelines like this one are subject to specific safety requirements based on location and commodity. The Hugoton area has a long history of natural gas production, and this pipeline is part of the extensive midstream infrastructure supporting regional energy supply. Environmentally, the pipeline's proximity to agricultural land and the Cimarron River watershed requires careful monitoring for leaks and corrosion. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent external corrosion. The facility plays a key role in transporting natural gas from the Hugoton field to processing plants and downstream markets, supporting both local and national energy needs.
Environmental context
The pipeline traverses the High Plains region of southwestern Kansas, an area characterized by agricultural land and the Cimarron River basin. Proximity to waterways and populated areas necessitates robust leak detection and corrosion prevention measures. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses risks of methane emissions and fire hazards. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA's integrity management programs helps mitigate environmental impact.
