Noble Energy - Rumsey T4N-R66W-S4 L01 is a gas extraction facility located in Weld County, Colorado, approximately 1.4 miles southwest of Evans. The facility is operational and situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. It is classified under NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction), indicating its role in both gas and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas pipeline safety. In Colorado, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) also oversees drilling and production activities. The facility's location in Weld County places it in one of the most active drilling areas in the state, with numerous gas wells and supporting infrastructure. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity. Its proximity to Evans and other Front Range communities means it operates within a mixed urban-rural environment, where balancing energy production with community safety and environmental stewardship is critical. The facility's role in the broader gas network helps meet demand in Colorado and beyond.

The facility is located in the South Platte River basin, a semi-arid region with agricultural and urban land uses. Gas extraction in this area involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination, air emissions, and seismic activity from wastewater injection. The proximity to populated areas like Evans requires careful management of operational pressures and well integrity to minimize community exposure.
