Noble Tank Battery #11731900 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 7.1 miles east of Eaton, Colorado, in Weld County. The facility operates within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a prolific oil and gas region in the United States. As a tank battery, it collects and processes natural gas from nearby wells, playing a role in the midstream segment of gas infrastructure. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules. Tank batteries in this region typically handle moderate volumes of natural gas, supporting local gathering systems. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (211111, 211112, 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Environmental considerations for this facility include its location in a semi-arid region with potential for drought and wildfire risks. The facility's proximity to agricultural land and rural communities necessitates adherence to setback requirements and emissions controls. Its role in the regional gas grid contributes to energy supply for the Front Range urban corridor.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Weld County, Colorado, a region characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas and potential for seismic activity (though low in this region) are relevant risk factors. The area experiences occasional drought and wildfire conditions, which could impact operations. Regulatory oversight by the COGCC addresses air quality, water protection, and well integrity.
