NOBLE ENERGY - BATTERY #10060600 Gas Extraction Facility, Gilcrest, Colorado

NOBLE ENERGY - BATTERY #10060600 is a gas extraction facility situated in Weld County, Colorado, approximately 6.1 miles southeast of Gilcrest. The facility is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. It operates within the United States' robust regulatory framework, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192. The facility's NAICS codes (211112 and 211130) indicate it is involved in natural gas extraction and oil and gas field machinery manufacturing. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, often processing several million cubic feet per day. The facility operates under Colorado's stringent oil and gas regulations, which include setback requirements and emissions controls. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Weld County, one of the most productive oil and gas counties in the United States. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces some risk factors, though the facility must manage operational risks associated with high-pressure gas extraction and transport.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado, where water resources are a key environmental concern. Gas extraction operations can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane. The area is also subject to occasional drought conditions, which may affect water availability for operations. Proximity to agricultural land requires careful management of potential soil and water contamination.
