NOBLE - UPRC KARAKAKES T3N-R65W-S13 L01 Gas Extraction Facility, Evans Area, Colorado

NOBLE - UPRC KARAKAKES T3N-R65W-S13 L01 is a gas extraction facility located in Evans Area, Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the natural gas supply chain within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. Its location in Weld County places it in one of the most active drilling areas in the country. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). These agencies enforce safety standards for gas extraction and pipeline transport, including well construction, pressure management, and environmental protections. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. As part of the UPRC (Ute Pipeline Right-of-Way) system, this facility supports the gathering and processing of natural gas from nearby wells. Its operational status ensures continued contribution to local energy supply and economic activity in the region. The facility's proximity to Evans and Greeley underscores its integration into the broader energy infrastructure serving northern Colorado.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid climate of northeastern Colorado, where water resources are a key environmental consideration. Gas extraction operations in this region are subject to regulations addressing groundwater protection, air emissions, and land use. The proximity to the South Platte River watershed requires careful management of produced water and potential spills. Seismic activity in the area is low, but the high density of oil and gas wells in Weld County necessitates robust monitoring of induced seismicity and surface impacts.
