Overview
Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas - Battery #415779686 is an operational gas extraction facility in the Berthoud area, Weld County, Colorado. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas - Battery #415779686 is a gas extraction facility located in the Berthoud area of Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas production infrastructure in the region. Weld County is a key area for oil and gas activity in the Denver-Julesburg Basin. 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 gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction battery, it likely includes separation, metering, and initial processing equipment typical for gathering raw natural gas from wells. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate its role in both extraction and liquid recovery. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply chain, feeding into gathering systems that transport gas to processing plants and ultimately to end users. Its location in a rural area of Weld County reduces proximity to dense populations, but the facility must still adhere to safety standards for pressure control and leak detection to mitigate risks.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate exposure risks. However, the area is prone to occasional seismic activity and drought conditions, which can affect infrastructure integrity. Proximity to agricultural land requires careful management of potential emissions and water usage to minimize environmental impact.
