HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS Q-3 Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS Q-3 is a gas extraction facility situated in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is located in Cheyenne County and is part of the broader natural gas infrastructure serving the region. As an operational gas extraction plant, it plays a role in the local energy supply chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. Gas extraction facilities in Colorado typically employ conventional drilling and production techniques, with scale varying based on reservoir characteristics. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both gas and natural gas liquids production. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, where water usage and methane emissions are key considerations. The area's low population density reduces immediate community exposure, but operational practices must address potential impacts on local air quality and groundwater. The facility's role in supplying natural gas supports regional energy needs while adhering to state and federal environmental regulations.

The facility operates in the High Plains region of Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing direct community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can contribute to local air emissions, including volatile organic compounds and methane, and require careful water management. Seismic risk in the area is minimal, but drought conditions may stress water resources used in operations.
