Noble Energy - Battery #414443991: Gas Extraction Facility in Gill, Colorado

Noble Energy - Battery #414443991 is a gas extraction facility located in Gill, Colorado, within Weld County. The facility is operational and serves as a central gathering point for natural gas produced from nearby wells, separating gas, oil, and water before transport. It is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a prolific oil and gas region. The facility operates under US federal and state regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules. Typical gas extraction batteries in this area handle capacities ranging from 1 to 50 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd), though specific capacity for this site is not disclosed. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. This battery plays a critical role in the local energy infrastructure, supporting gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Its location in rural Weld County minimizes proximity to dense populations, reducing some operational risks. The facility contributes to the regional economy and energy independence.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northeastern Colorado, where water resources are limited. Gas extraction operations can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane. Proximity to agricultural land requires careful management of surface disturbances and potential groundwater impacts. The area experiences occasional seismic activity, though risks are low for this facility.
