CABOT OIL & GAS - HB: DOUBLE EAGLE GP Gas Extraction Facility, Dove Creek, Colorado

CABOT OIL & GAS - HB: DOUBLE EAGLE GP is a gas extraction facility located at 01017 Road 8, Dove Creek, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It serves as part of the gas infrastructure in the region, contributing to the extraction of natural gas resources. 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. As a gas extraction site, it is subject to state-level regulations in Colorado, including those from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's scale is typical for a portable source in the region, focusing on extraction rather than processing or transmission. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area near Dove Creek, with proximity to the Colorado Plateau. The region's arid climate and geological formations influence operational practices, particularly regarding water usage and methane emissions. The facility's role in the local gas supply chain supports energy production for the surrounding communities and downstream markets.

The facility is located in the Colorado Plateau region, characterized by semi-arid conditions and sensitive ecosystems. Proximity to populated areas is low, but the extraction process involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination and methane leakage. Regulatory oversight by the COGCC and PHMSA addresses these concerns through well construction standards and emission controls. The area's seismic activity is minimal, reducing earthquake-related risks.
