Jayhawk Pipeline - Pleasant Prairie Station (Crude Stor) - Sublette, Kansas Oil Pipeline Infrastructure

JAYHAWK PIPELINE - PLEASANT PRAIRIE STATION (CRUDE STOR) is an operational oil pipeline facility located in Sublette, Haskell County, Kansas, United States. This facility is part of the Jayhawk Pipeline system, which transports crude oil across the region. The station's primary function is crude oil storage, supporting the pipeline's logistics and ensuring steady flow. As an oil pipeline facility in the United States, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. The facility's NAICS code 486110 indicates it is classified as pipeline transportation of crude oil. Typical safety measures include cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion and regular integrity assessments. The Pleasant Prairie Station plays a key role in the regional crude oil infrastructure, connecting production areas to refineries and markets. Its location in Kansas places it within a network of pipelines that support the energy sector of the central United States. The facility contributes to the reliable supply of crude oil, which is essential for fuel production and industrial operations.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Haskell County, Kansas, characterized by agricultural land and sparse population. Proximity to waterways and groundwater resources requires careful management to prevent spills. The pipeline's age and cathodic protection status are critical for environmental safety, as corrosion can lead to leaks. Regular monitoring and compliance with PHMSA regulations help mitigate risks to local ecosystems and communities.
