Foundation Energy - Stallings 14-6 is a gas extraction facility located near Eckley, Colorado, in Yuma County. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a major oil and gas producing area. The facility operates under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas gathering and transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves wellhead operations and initial processing. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both natural gas and NGL production. The facility's proximity to rural agricultural land in Yuma County means it operates in a low-density area, reducing population exposure risks. Its contribution to local energy supply supports regional economic activity and energy independence. The operational status ensures ongoing gas production for downstream markets.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. The primary environmental considerations for gas extraction in this area include groundwater protection from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from well operations, and land use impacts. The region experiences occasional drought conditions, which can affect water availability for operations. Seismic risk is low, but the area is subject to severe weather events such as tornadoes and blizzards, which may pose operational hazards.
