Noble Energy - Jones T7N-R63W-S5 L01 Gas Extraction Facility, Eaton, Colorado

Noble Energy - Jones T7N-R63W-S5 L01 is a gas extraction facility situated in Weld County, Colorado, about 13.5 miles east of Eaton. This facility is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region in the United States. The plant is operational and plays a role in the local natural gas supply chain. 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). It is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its involvement in both gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region utilize hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to access tight gas formations. This facility contributes to the energy infrastructure of Weld County, which is one of the most productive oil and gas counties in the United States. The extracted gas is processed and transported via pipelines to meet regional and national energy demands. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces some operational risks, but it is subject to standard environmental monitoring and safety protocols.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, which reduces potential exposure to populated areas. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane. The area is also prone to occasional drought conditions, which may affect water availability for hydraulic fracturing operations. Regulatory requirements under COGCC mandate leak detection and repair programs to minimize fugitive emissions.
