MULL DRILLING-KERN FARMS A TB Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

MULL DRILLING-KERN FARMS A TB is a gas extraction facility situated in Cheyenne County, Colorado, approximately 13.6 miles east of Cheyenne Wells. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. This location is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for its oil and gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves drilling and initial processing of natural gas before it enters transmission pipelines. The scale of operations is typical for a small to medium-sized extraction facility in the region. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and open plains. The proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate risk to communities. However, gas extraction activities can have local environmental impacts, including potential groundwater concerns and air emissions. The facility's role in the regional gas supply chain contributes to energy infrastructure resilience.

The facility is located in a rural area of Cheyenne County, Colorado, with low population density. The surrounding environment is primarily agricultural and grassland. Gas extraction in this region may involve hydraulic fracturing and associated water use, which can affect local water resources. Air emissions from drilling and flaring are also considerations. The area is not in a high seismic zone, but climate hazards such as drought and wildfires could pose risks to operations.
