PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT-JEFFERS 11-35 Gas Extraction Facility, Berthoud, Colorado

PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT-JEFFERS 11-35 is a gas extraction facility located in Berthoud, Larimer County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region with significant natural gas production. As a gas extraction plant, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas supply chain. 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. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. The facility's scale is typical for the region, contributing to Colorado's natural gas output. Environmental considerations include proximity to populated areas like Berthoud and exposure to seismic and climate hazards typical of the Rocky Mountain region. The facility's operational status and location underscore its role in local energy infrastructure, supporting downstream gas processing and distribution networks.

The facility is located in an area with moderate seismic activity and potential for extreme weather events such as wildfires and floods, which are relevant risk factors for gas extraction infrastructure. Proximity to Berthoud and other communities necessitates adherence to safety regulations to mitigate risks associated with high-pressure operations and potential leaks.
