Overview
CITATION OIL & GAS - FRANK #1 41-29 is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne County, Colorado, near Cheyenne Wells. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
CITATION OIL & GAS - FRANK #1 41-29 is a gas extraction facility situated in Cheyenne County, Colorado, approximately 12.2 miles north of Cheyenne Wells. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in the upstream gas sector. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, governed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site in Colorado, it is part of a region with significant natural gas production, often associated with the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Typical operations involve drilling, extraction, and initial processing of natural gas. The facility contributes to the local energy supply chain, supporting regional gas distribution and downstream industrial use. Its location in a rural area of eastern Colorado reflects the typical siting of extraction operations away from densely populated zones, though proximity to agricultural land and water resources requires careful environmental management.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Gas extraction activities in such areas can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, and may affect groundwater resources if not properly managed. The site's distance from major population centers reduces immediate public exposure, but seismic and climate hazards, such as drought and wildfires, are relevant considerations for operational safety.
