HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS R-1 Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

HERMAN L LOEB - EVANS R-1 is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas supply, supporting local energy needs and the broader gas infrastructure network. 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 facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction, reflecting its role in the upstream gas sector. The facility is situated in a rural area of eastern Colorado, where gas extraction activities are common. Its operational status ensures a steady supply of natural gas to downstream markets, contributing to energy security and economic activity in the region. The facility's location in Cheyenne County places it within a network of gas infrastructure that supports both local and interstate gas distribution.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, where gas extraction operations must manage water usage and potential impacts on local ecosystems. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing direct exposure risks. However, the facility's operating pressure and vintage, typical of older gas extraction sites, require ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential leaks or emissions. Seismic activity in the region is low, but climate hazards such as drought and wildfires may pose operational challenges.
