MULL DRILLING CO - TEMPEL TANK BATTERY: Gas Extraction Facility near Eads, Colorado

MULL DRILLING CO - TEMPEL TANK BATTERY is a gas extraction facility located in Kiowa County, Colorado, approximately 7.9 miles north of Eads. The facility operates as a tank battery, a common infrastructure component in oil and gas fields used to separate and store produced fluids. It is situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). It is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction), 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction). These codes indicate involvement in the extraction and initial processing of natural gas and associated liquids. As a tank battery, this facility plays a key role in gathering and stabilizing production from nearby wells. Its location in a rural area of Kiowa County reduces proximity to dense populations, but it operates within a region with active oil and gas development. The facility contributes to the local energy supply chain and supports regional natural gas production.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure risks. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but the region experiences occasional severe weather including tornadoes and blizzards. The facility's design and operation must comply with state and federal regulations to manage emissions and prevent spills, given the potential for groundwater contamination in the area's shallow aquifers.
