PATINA UPRC 35-5F & 6F Gas Extraction Facility, Weld County, Colorado

PATINA UPRC 35-5F & 6F is a gas extraction facility located in Weld County, Colorado, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of Gilcrest. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. Colorado's gas extraction sector is regulated under state and federal guidelines, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. The facility operates under NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction), indicating involvement in both extraction and processing. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, with capacities varying based on local geology and infrastructure. The facility's location in Weld County places it within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing area. Environmental considerations for gas extraction facilities include proximity to populated areas, operating pressure, and seismic hazards. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces some risk factors. The facility plays a role in the local energy supply chain, supporting downstream gas processing and distribution networks.

The facility is situated in Weld County, Colorado, an area with active oil and gas development. Proximity to agricultural land and the South Platte River may influence local environmental considerations. Gas extraction operations in this region are subject to Colorado's stringent air quality and water protection regulations. The facility's location away from dense population centers reduces potential exposure to populated areas, but seismic activity in the Rocky Mountain region is a factor for infrastructure integrity.
