ANADARKO DBA RME - KERN 1, 3 Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

ANADARKO DBA RME - KERN 1, 3 is a gas extraction facility situated in Cheyenne County, Colorado, approximately 13 miles north of Cheyenne Wells. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a region known for significant oil and gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines that transport raw gas to processing plants. The scale of operations is typical for the region, where numerous similar facilities contribute to the area's gas output. Environmentally, the facility's proximity to rural agricultural land and the High Plains aquifer system necessitates careful management of potential impacts on groundwater and air quality. Its role in the local gas infrastructure supports energy supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the region, while adhering to state and federal environmental regulations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and the underlying Ogallala aquifer. Gas extraction activities here require adherence to Colorado's stringent air quality and water protection regulations. The area's low population density reduces immediate human exposure risks, but the facility's operations must manage potential impacts on local ecosystems and groundwater resources.
