Foundation Energy - Jar Partnership 21-3 Gas Extraction Facility, Eckley Area, Colorado

Foundation Energy - Jar Partnership 21-3 is a gas extraction facility situated in the Eckley Area of Yuma County, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the regional natural gas supply, serving the broader energy infrastructure of the area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. As a gas extraction site, it utilizes standard industry practices for wellhead operations and initial gas processing before transmission. This facility plays a role in the local energy grid, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial energy needs in northeastern Colorado. Its location in a rural area reduces proximity to dense populations, but it remains subject to standard operational safety protocols and environmental monitoring typical of gas extraction sites in the region.

The facility is located in a rural agricultural area of Yuma County, Colorado, characterized by flat plains and a semi-arid climate. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction operations involve potential risks such as fugitive emissions and groundwater impacts, which are managed through state and federal regulations. The region is not prone to significant seismic activity, but seasonal weather events like tornadoes and blizzards pose operational hazards.
