Noble Tank Battery #415860581 - Gas Extraction Facility in Evans, Colorado

Noble Tank Battery #415860581 is a gas extraction facility located in Evans, Colorado, within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 211130 for natural gas extraction. It is situated in Weld County, one of the most active areas for gas production in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a tank battery, it typically handles separation, storage, and initial processing of natural gas from nearby wells. The scale of such facilities varies, but they are common in the region's dense well network. Environmental significance includes proximity to populated areas like Evans and potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. The facility's role in the gas supply chain supports regional energy needs, but its location in a seismically stable area with moderate climate hazards requires standard operational safeguards.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region with low seismic activity but potential for extreme weather events such as hailstorms and tornadoes. Proximity to the South Platte River and agricultural areas necessitates careful management of produced water and emissions to protect local ecosystems and groundwater.
