Noble Tank Battery #10101400 is a gas extraction facility located in the Evans Area of Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the region's natural gas production, which is part of the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin. The site is situated in a county known for significant oil and gas activity. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules. As a tank battery, it typically separates oil, gas, and water from well production, with gas directed to pipelines or processing plants. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate support activities for oil and gas extraction. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Weld County. Its location in a rural area near Evans minimizes proximity to dense populations, though it operates within a region with active drilling and production. The facility's role in gathering and initial processing is critical for downstream gas infrastructure.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing direct exposure risks. However, the area is prone to occasional seismic activity and extreme weather events like hailstorms and wildfires, which could impact operations. Proximity to agricultural land and the South Platte River watershed necessitates careful management of potential leaks or spills to protect water resources and soil quality.
