HERMAN L LOEB - TALBERT #4 Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

HERMAN L LOEB - TALBERT #4 is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in a rural area of eastern Colorado, a region known for its oil and gas production within the Denver-Julesburg Basin. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead operations and initial processing before gas enters transmission pipelines. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate both conventional gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply infrastructure, supporting local energy needs and potentially feeding into interstate pipelines. Its location in a sparsely populated area reduces some risk factors, though it remains subject to standard operational and environmental oversight under state and federal regulations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado with low population density. The local environment includes shortgrass prairie and agricultural land. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing exposure risks. Seismic activity in the region is low, but the area is prone to occasional drought and extreme weather events, which are typical climate hazards for gas infrastructure in this region.
