Notice
Summary
Southern Star wants to build a new compressor station in Osage County, Oklahoma, to boost natural gas delivery for customers in Kansas and Missouri. The government checked the project’s environmental impact and found it won’t harm the environment much. This upgrade means more reliable gas service without big delays or extra costs for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Adds Natural Gas Capacity for KS and MO
The project would add up to 98,000 dekatherms per day of firm capacity in Southern Star's Market Area and about 35,000 dekatherms per day in its Production Area, serving customers in Kansas and Missouri. The new capacity comes from a proposed compressor station in Osage County, Oklahoma that includes a 6,091-horsepower turbine and related piping and facilities.
FERC Finds No Significant Environmental Impact
FERC staff prepared an Environmental Assessment and concluded that approving the Cedar Vale Compressor Station Project would not be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA and related project details are available electronically and the Commission is accepting comments through October 20, 2025.
