FOUNDATION ENERGY- MITCHEM #2-26X BATTER - Gas Extraction Facility in Bennett, Colorado

FOUNDATION ENERGY- MITCHEM #2-26X BATTER is a gas extraction facility located in Bennett, Adams County, Colorado, United States. The facility is currently operational and serves as part of the regional natural gas infrastructure, contributing to the energy supply in the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Operating under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, the facility adheres to stringent safety standards for gas extraction and transmission. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate involvement in natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction, respectively, reflecting a focus on upstream gas production.
