Laramie Energy - Kimball Creek Water HF Gas Extraction Facility, Collbran Area, Colorado

Laramie Energy - Kimball Creek Water HF is a gas extraction facility located in Mesa County, Colorado, near the town of Collbran. The facility is operational and plays a role in the region's natural gas production, contributing to the broader energy infrastructure of the United States. 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 operations. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves hydraulic fracturing and water handling, typical for unconventional gas production in the Piceance Basin. This facility is part of Colorado's significant natural gas industry, which supplies energy to local and national markets. Its location in a rural area near the Colorado River corridor requires careful environmental management to protect water resources and air quality.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Colorado, near the Grand Mesa and the Colorado River. Gas extraction activities here must consider water usage and potential impacts on local groundwater and surface water. The area experiences seasonal wildfire risk and occasional seismic activity, which are relevant to operational safety and infrastructure integrity.
