PDC Kohlhoff 33, 34, 43, 44-2 Gas Extraction Facility, Briggsdale, Colorado

PDC Kohlhoff 33, 34, 43, 44-2 is a gas extraction facility located in Briggsdale, Weld County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and is part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and 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 govern pipeline safety and gas transmission. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities, respectively. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region use hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies to access tight gas formations. As part of the gas extraction network in Colorado, this facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain community exposure risks, but operations are subject to state and federal environmental oversight to manage air emissions, water usage, and seismic impacts.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northeastern Colorado, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities in the area are subject to climate hazard exposure, including potential drought and wildfire risks. Regulatory oversight under Colorado's oil and gas rules addresses air quality, water protection, and induced seismicity concerns.
