Warren Petroleum/Milnesand Booster Gas Pipeline Facility, Milnesand, New Mexico

Warren Petroleum/Milnesand Booster is a gas pipeline facility situated in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, approximately 3 miles west-southwest of Milnesand. As a booster station, it plays a role in maintaining pressure and flow within the natural gas transmission network. The facility is classified under NAICS 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. 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. Booster stations like this one are critical for long-distance gas transport, ensuring efficient delivery across the region. The facility's location in eastern New Mexico places it within a network serving both local distribution and interstate markets. Environmental considerations for gas pipeline booster stations include proximity to agricultural land and rural communities. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to regional energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply reliability. Its role in the broader pipeline grid underscores the importance of maintaining safety and integrity standards.

The facility is located in a rural area of eastern New Mexico, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Proximity to waterways and populated areas is limited, reducing certain environmental risks. However, as a natural gas pipeline booster station, potential concerns include methane leakage and impacts on local air quality. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion, and regular inspections under PHMSA regulations help mitigate environmental risks.
