HRM II Resources II - Ambush 31-22 Gas Extraction Facility, Bennett, Colorado

HRM II Resources II - Ambush 31-22 is a gas extraction facility situated in Bennett, Adams County, Colorado. The facility is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, one of the most prolific oil and gas regions in the United States. It operates under the regulatory oversight of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction), indicating its role in both gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, often producing several million cubic feet per day. The facility is subject to federal pipeline safety regulations under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, as well as state-level rules for drilling and production. Operationally, the facility contributes to the natural gas supply chain serving the Front Range urban corridor, including the Denver metropolitan area. Its location in Adams County places it within a region with active oil and gas development, requiring careful management of environmental impacts such as air emissions, water usage, and land disturbance. The facility's proximity to agricultural and residential areas necessitates adherence to setback requirements and best management practices.

The facility is located in the semi-arid climate of eastern Colorado, where water resources are limited and air quality is a concern due to ozone formation in the Front Range. Gas extraction activities can contribute to volatile organic compound (VOC) and methane emissions, which are regulated by the EPA and COGCC. The region also experiences occasional drought and wildfire risk, which can impact operations. Proximity to populated areas requires careful monitoring of noise, traffic, and potential well integrity issues.
