DCP Midstream 595 Piceance Basin Gas Extraction Facility, Denver, Colorado

DCP Midstream 595 Piceance Basin is a gas extraction facility situated in Denver, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the natural gas supply chain, focusing on extraction activities in the Piceance Basin region. As part of the midstream sector, it contributes to the processing and transportation of natural gas. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the safe operation of gas pipelines. The NAICS code 211130 indicates natural gas extraction, and the facility's scale is typical for midstream operations in the Rocky Mountain region, where the Piceance Basin is a significant natural gas producing area. Environmentally, the facility's location in Denver places it in an urban setting, which necessitates careful management of operational risks such as proximity to populated areas and potential emissions. The facility's role in the regional gas grid supports energy supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in Colorado and beyond.

The facility is located in Denver, Colorado, a densely populated urban area. This proximity to populated areas requires stringent safety measures to mitigate risks associated with gas extraction and processing. The region is also subject to seismic activity, though generally low, and climate hazards such as wildfires and droughts, which can impact operations. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA and DOT standards helps manage these environmental factors.
