MULL DRILLING - NWAU #6 TANK BATTERY Gas Extraction Facility in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

MULL DRILLING - NWAU #6 TANK BATTERY is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and functions as a tank battery for natural gas production, typical of the many small-scale extraction sites in the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Its location in a rural area of eastern Colorado reflects the region's significant oil and gas activity. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). As a gas extraction site, it is subject to federal and state regulations governing well construction, production, and safety. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211112, 211130) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, natural gas liquid extraction, and natural gas extraction, respectively. This tank battery plays a role in gathering and storing natural gas from nearby wells before it enters the pipeline network. Its operation supports local energy production and contributes to the regional gas supply. The facility's rural location minimizes proximity to densely populated areas, reducing certain community-related risks.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid High Plains region of eastern Colorado, an area characterized by agricultural land use and low population density. The local environment includes grasslands and dryland farming, with limited surface water resources. Gas extraction activities in this region must manage potential impacts on groundwater quality and air emissions, particularly volatile organic compounds and methane. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but occasional drought conditions may affect water availability for operations.
