ENERVEST - UPR 18, PAN AM F-1 is a gas extraction facility situated in Arapahoe County, Colorado, approximately 4.5 miles north of Deer Trail. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas sector within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it involves drilling and production activities typical of the region, which includes horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight gas formations. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and supports the broader natural gas infrastructure in Colorado. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain operational risks, while adherence to state and federal regulations ensures environmental and safety standards are maintained.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though generally low, and climate hazards include drought and severe storms. Regulatory oversight under Colorado's oil and gas rules addresses water protection and air quality.
