K. P. Kauffman - NRC 9-9-15H Gas Extraction Facility, Frederick Area, Colorado

K. P. Kauffman - NRC 9-9-15H is a gas extraction facility located in the Frederick area of Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas production, which is a key component of the local energy industry. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. Gas extraction facilities in Colorado typically use hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to access reserves in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. As part of the broader gas infrastructure network, this facility supports energy supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users. Its location in Weld County places it in an area with significant gas production activity, contributing to local economic development and energy security.

The facility is situated in an area with moderate seismic activity and a semi-arid climate. Proximity to populated areas requires careful management of operational risks, including well integrity and emissions control. The region's water resources are a key environmental consideration, as gas extraction can impact local aquifers if not properly managed.
