PATINA CARLSON J 32-8 & 32-1H6 Gas Extraction Facility, Evans, Colorado

PATINA CARLSON J 32-8 & 32-1H6 is a gas extraction facility located in Evans, Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS code 211130, which covers the extraction of natural gas. This site is part of the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region in the Rocky Mountain area. The facility operates within 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 natural gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead operations, separation, and initial processing before gas enters transmission pipelines. The scale of such facilities in the DJ Basin varies, but many are medium-sized operations contributing to regional gas supply. Environmentally, the facility is situated in an area with a mix of agricultural and urban land use. Proximity to populated areas like Evans requires adherence to setback regulations and emission controls. The region's semi-arid climate and occasional seismic activity are factors in operational risk management. The facility plays a role in supplying natural gas to local and regional markets, supporting energy needs in Colorado and beyond.

The facility is located in Weld County, Colorado, an area with significant oil and gas development. The region experiences a semi-arid climate with low precipitation, which can affect water usage and dust management. Proximity to the city of Evans means that population density and land use conflicts are potential concerns. Seismic activity in Colorado is generally low, but induced seismicity from wastewater injection has been noted in the region. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) addresses these environmental factors through permitting and monitoring requirements.
