CRESTONE PEAK - PROSPER FARMS 4-65 11-12 is an operational gas extraction facility located in the Aurora area of Arapahoe County, Colorado, United States. The facility is situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for natural gas production. As a gas extraction site, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas supply chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. The NAICS code 211130 indicates it is involved in natural gas extraction. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region use hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies to access tight gas formations. This facility contributes to the local energy infrastructure, supplying natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial use in the Denver metropolitan area. Its location near populated areas necessitates adherence to safety and environmental regulations to mitigate risks associated with gas extraction operations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region with low annual precipitation. Proximity to the Denver metropolitan area means that operations must manage potential impacts on air quality and water resources. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but climate hazards such as drought and wildfires could pose operational risks. Regulatory oversight ensures that extraction activities minimize environmental disturbance.
