PDC - Gurley 31-23, 24 is a gas extraction facility located in Gilcrest, Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas sector, contributing to the region's energy infrastructure. As part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, it plays a role in local gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. Gas extraction facilities in this region typically involve well pads and gathering systems that transport gas to processing plants. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate its involvement in both extraction and processing. The environmental context includes proximity to agricultural areas and the South Platte River basin. Operational practices must address methane emissions and water management. The facility's location in a seismically stable region reduces certain risks, but high operating pressures and proximity to populated areas require robust safety measures.

The facility is situated in Weld County, Colorado, an area with significant agricultural activity and proximity to the South Platte River. Gas extraction operations here must manage potential impacts on air quality, water resources, and local ecosystems. The region experiences occasional drought conditions, making water use efficiency important. Seismic risk is low, but high-pressure operations and pipeline integrity are key environmental considerations.
