ANADARKO DBA RME - ARAPAHOE SEC 31 Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

ANADARKO DBA RME - ARAPAHOE SEC 31 is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in a rural area of eastern Colorado, part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin known for oil and gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to transport raw gas to processing plants. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate involvement in both extraction and liquid recovery. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity. Its location in a sparsely populated area reduces population exposure risks, though standard safety measures for pressure control and leak detection are essential for operational integrity.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado with low population density. Proximity to agricultural land and groundwater aquifers necessitates careful management of potential leaks or spills. The area experiences occasional drought and wildfire risk, which could impact operations. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA standards helps mitigate environmental hazards.
