KERR-MCGEE 51009 Gas Extraction Facility, GILCREST AREA, Colorado, United States

KERR-MCGEE 51009 is a gas extraction facility located in the GILCREST AREA, Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is currently operational and serves as part of the regional natural gas infrastructure. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a major oil and gas producing region. 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. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, with capacities often measured in millions of standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). As part of Colorado's gas infrastructure, this facility contributes to the state's energy supply and economic activity. The region's semi-arid climate and agricultural land use require careful environmental management. The facility's proximity to populated areas and potential seismic activity in the region are factors considered in its operational risk profile.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado, where water resources are limited and agricultural land use is prevalent. Gas extraction operations must manage potential impacts on air quality, water resources, and soil. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, which can affect pipeline integrity. Proximity to populated areas necessitates robust safety measures and adherence to PHMSA regulations.
