HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in the eastern plains of Colorado, an area known for its oil and gas production. As a gas extraction plant, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas supply chain. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), which enforces rules for well construction, production, and environmental protection. In the United States, gas extraction facilities are also subject to federal regulations such as the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both natural gas and natural gas liquids extraction. The facility contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, supplying natural gas to local markets and potentially to interstate pipelines. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces some community exposure risks. The facility's operational status and adherence to state regulations are key to its continued role in Colorado's energy landscape.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land use and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential community exposure. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but drought conditions and water availability are important environmental considerations for gas extraction operations. Regulatory requirements for water management and air emissions help mitigate local environmental impacts.
