EOTT Energy Pipeline Ltd Partnership - Oil Pipeline in Hudson Sta., Kansas

EOTT Energy Pipeline Ltd Partnership is an oil pipeline facility located in Hudson Sta., Stafford County, Kansas, United States. The pipeline is operational and serves as part of the broader crude petroleum transportation infrastructure in the region. Kansas is a key state for pipeline networks due to its central location and proximity to major oil-producing areas. The facility operates under NAICS code 486110, which covers crude petroleum pipeline transportation. In the United States, oil pipelines are regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under 49 CFR Part 195 for hazardous liquid pipelines. These regulations mandate safety standards, including corrosion control, leak detection, and emergency response protocols. The pipeline contributes to the regional energy supply chain, connecting oil production areas to refineries and distribution hubs. Its location in rural Kansas minimizes proximity to densely populated areas, but the pipeline may cross waterways or agricultural land, requiring environmental monitoring. The facility's role in the national pipeline grid supports energy security and economic activity in the region.

The pipeline traverses rural Kansas, an area dominated by agriculture and grasslands. Proximity to waterways and groundwater resources necessitates careful monitoring to prevent spills that could impact soil and water quality. The commodity transported (crude oil) poses risks of environmental contamination in case of leaks. Regulatory oversight by PHMSA includes requirements for spill prevention and response plans to mitigate potential ecological harm.
