Overview
Noble Tank Battery #10864700 is a gas extraction facility located near Evans, Colorado, operating under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192.
Noble Tank Battery #10864700 is a gas extraction facility located in Weld County, Colorado, approximately 1.3 miles west of Evans. The facility operates within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region in the United States. As a tank battery, it serves as a collection point for natural gas and associated liquids from nearby wells. The facility falls under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe operation of gas pipelines. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate its role in both gas processing and extraction. Typical tank batteries in this region handle moderate volumes of gas and condensate, with capacities often ranging from 1 to 10 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). This facility contributes to the regional gas supply infrastructure, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity in Weld County. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain operational risks, though proximity to agricultural land and potential seismic activity in the Rocky Mountain region are considerations for environmental management.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing exposure to populated areas. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity from the Rocky Mountain region, and the facility's operating pressure and vintage are typical for tank batteries in the basin. Local environmental concerns include potential groundwater impacts from produced water and methane emissions, which are regulated under state and federal rules.
