KERR-MCGEE 61537 - FREDERICKS 1-22 is a gas extraction facility located in the Erie Area of Boulder County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas production sector within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas activity. 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. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves wellheads, separators, and gathering lines to process natural gas from underground reservoirs. The NAICS code 211130 indicates it is part of the natural gas extraction industry. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Boulder County. Its location in a populated area near Erie requires adherence to safety protocols and environmental monitoring to mitigate risks associated with gas extraction, such as emissions and groundwater protection.

The facility is situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, an area with a mix of urban and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas like Erie necessitates careful management of air emissions, noise, and potential groundwater impacts. The region experiences semi-arid climate conditions, which can influence dust control and water usage. Seismic activity in Colorado is generally low, but induced seismicity from wastewater injection is a consideration in the basin.
