HRM Resources II - HSR Marrs 3-10 is a gas extraction facility situated in Elbert County, Colorado, about 10.9 miles southeast of Bennett. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in upstream gas production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, governed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site in Colorado, it is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas activity. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and initial gas processing before transport to gathering pipelines. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and downstream infrastructure. Its location in a rural area of Elbert County reduces proximity to dense populations, but operations are subject to state and federal environmental oversight to manage emissions, water use, and land disturbance. The facility's role in the gas value chain underscores its importance to Colorado's energy sector.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by grassland ecosystems and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through methane emissions and volatile organic compounds, and water resources through hydraulic fracturing and produced water management. The area is subject to occasional drought and wildfire risk, which may influence operational safety and environmental management practices.
