Anadarko E&P Co. - Mitchell #3 14-35 is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for oil and gas production. As a gas extraction site, it contributes to the natural gas supply chain in the area. 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 pipeline safety. Additionally, state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) apply.

This facility plays a role in the local energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Its location in a rural area of eastern Colorado reflects typical siting for gas extraction operations, which often prioritize proximity to resource deposits while managing environmental and community impacts.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land use and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing direct exposure risks. However, gas extraction operations can involve potential impacts such as air emissions, water usage, and land disturbance. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but climate hazards like drought and extreme weather events may affect operations. Regulatory oversight by the COGCC and PHMSA addresses environmental management and safety.
