Kerr-McGee 11060 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 3.1 miles north of Fort Lupton, Colorado, in Weld County. The facility is operational and falls under the Gas Extraction sector, contributing to the region's natural gas supply. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a major oil and gas producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellheads, separation equipment, and gathering lines that connect to larger transmission networks. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate its role in both raw gas production and natural gas liquids recovery. Environmentally, the facility is situated in an agricultural region with proximity to the South Platte River. Its operations are subject to Colorado's air quality and water protection regulations. The facility's role in the local gas infrastructure supports energy supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the Front Range urban corridor.

The facility is located in Weld County, Colorado, an area with a mix of agricultural land and growing urban development. Proximity to the South Platte River raises considerations for water resource protection. The region experiences semi-arid climate conditions, and gas extraction activities may contribute to local air quality concerns, including volatile organic compound emissions. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency addresses these environmental aspects.
