MULL DRILLING-LOWE A TANK BATTERY - Gas Extraction Facility in Cheyenne Wells Area, Colorado

MULL DRILLING-LOWE A TANK BATTERY is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells Area, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a region known for significant oil and gas production. As a tank battery, this facility serves as a collection point for produced fluids from multiple wells, separating gas, oil, and water. Operations are subject to Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) regulations and federal pipeline safety standards under PHMSA and 49 CFR Part 192 for gas gathering lines. The facility's scale is typical for a small to medium operation in the region. The facility contributes to local energy supply and economic activity in Cheyenne County. Its rural location reduces population exposure risks, though proximity to agricultural land requires adherence to environmental best practices for emissions and spill prevention.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on air quality from volatile organic compounds and methane emissions, as well as groundwater protection from produced water handling. The area experiences moderate seismic activity, but the primary risk is from extreme weather events such as tornadoes and blizzards, which can affect infrastructure integrity.
