Noble Energy - Battery #415779652: Gas Extraction Facility in Gill, Colorado

Noble Energy - Battery #415779652 is a gas extraction facility located in Gill, Weld County, Colorado, within the Denver-Julesburg Basin. This operational facility is part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure serving the region, which is one of the most productive oil and gas areas in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction battery, it likely includes separation, metering, and initial processing equipment to prepare raw natural gas for transport. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. This facility contributes to the local energy supply chain, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial consumers in Colorado and beyond. Its location in a rural area of Weld County reflects the typical siting of gas extraction infrastructure away from dense population centers, though proximity to agricultural lands and water resources requires careful environmental management.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northeastern Colorado, where water resources are critical for both agriculture and energy operations. Gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, and water usage for hydraulic fracturing may compete with agricultural needs. The area is also subject to occasional seismic activity, though induced seismicity from oil and gas operations is monitored by state regulators.
