Onshore Facilities
- Plot
Plan
- The gas processing facility is surrounded by a 640
acre oil field located in the southern Cuyama Valley.
The facility includes an office, compression plant,
warehouse, shops, and associated natural gas and processing
infra-structure to remove heavier hydrocarbons, Hydrogen
S ulfide and Carbon Dioxide to produce sales quality
gas.
Product Distribution
Propane
- Distributed via tanker truck
- Product Destination:
- Varies according to season and market demand
- Largely sent to distribution network in Kern County
Natural Gas
- Distributed via sales gas line to utility.
Past Activities
- An annual SSRRC safety audit was
completed on October 24, 2007.
- In October of 2007, the Hallador
Cuyama Plant 10 facility was sold to
E&B Resources; the facility is
now owned and operated by E&B Resources.
- In early 2003, former operator
Hallador received all permits and implemented
two process improvements to the existing
gas processing facility:
- CO2 Treatment System – An
amine-based system to remove excess
CO2 from the natural gas stream
was implemented to meet a new inert
percentage ceiling on the sales
gas stream to the gas company.
- LPG Handling Process Changes – Instituted
the cessation of LPG storage and
truck loading operations at the
facility. LPGs are now introduced
into the existing crude oil stream
transported via pipeline. The absence
of LPG storage and trucking operations
reduces the potential hazards at
the facility.
- The facility has operated
under a series of owners, including
Arco, Stream Energy and Hallador.
- The Gas Plant has been permitted
to process gas since 1988.
