Shell Pipeline Co LP - Lake Arthur Station: Oil Pipeline Facility in Lake Arthur, Louisiana

Shell Pipeline Co LP - Lake Arthur Station is an oil pipeline facility located at 7106 HWY 14 in Lake Arthur, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486110 for crude petroleum pipeline transportation. As a regulated oil pipeline in the United States, this facility operates under the jurisdiction of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and must comply with DOT 49 CFR Part 195, which governs the safe transportation of hazardous liquids. The facility is part of Shell Pipeline Company LP's extensive network in the Gulf Coast region, a major hub for crude oil and refined product movement. The Lake Arthur Station plays a role in the regional energy infrastructure, supporting the transport of crude oil from production areas to refineries and distribution points. Its location in Louisiana, a state with dense pipeline networks, underscores its significance in connecting supply sources with downstream markets.

The facility is situated in a region with proximity to waterways and populated areas, which are key environmental considerations for oil pipeline operations. The age of the pipeline and cathodic protection systems are critical factors in preventing leaks and corrosion. The commodity transported (crude oil) poses inherent risks to soil and water resources in the event of a release.
