EXTRACTION O&G - JANSSEN 8-G Gas Extraction Facility, Eaton Area, Colorado

EXTRACTION O&G - JANSSEN 8-G is a natural gas extraction facility situated in the Eaton area of Weld County, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is part of the broader gas infrastructure network in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas production. As an operational gas extraction site, it contributes to the local energy supply chain. The facility operates under NAICS code 211130, which covers the extraction of natural gas. In the United States, gas extraction is regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) for pipeline safety and by state-level agencies such as the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's location in Weld County places it in a region with extensive gas infrastructure, including gathering lines and processing plants. Environmental considerations for gas extraction facilities include proximity to populated areas, potential for groundwater contamination, and air emissions. The facility's location in a rural area of Weld County may reduce direct population exposure, but regional cumulative impacts from multiple extraction sites are a concern. The site's operational status indicates ongoing activity, and its role in the local gas grid supports energy production for the region.

The facility is located in Weld County, Colorado, an area with a high density of oil and gas operations. Proximity to agricultural land and rural communities necessitates careful management of emissions and water usage. The region experiences semi-arid climate conditions, which can influence dust and air quality concerns. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission addresses environmental protections, including well integrity and waste management.
