PHILLIPS 66 PIPELINE LLC - CAMPO Gas Extraction Facility, Colorado

PHILLIPS 66 PIPELINE LLC - CAMPO is a gas extraction facility situated in the rural plains of southeastern Colorado, approximately 7.5 miles west of Campo. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both natural gas and natural gas liquids production. As a gas extraction facility in the United States, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. The facility's location in Colorado places it within a region with significant oil and gas activity, particularly in the Denver-Julesburg Basin and the Raton Basin, though specific operational details such as capacity are not disclosed. The facility's remote location in a sparsely populated area reduces certain risk factors associated with proximity to populated areas. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the regional gas supply chain, supporting downstream processing and distribution networks. The environmental context includes the semi-arid climate of the Colorado plains, with potential considerations for water usage and land disturbance typical of gas extraction operations.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by low population density and agricultural land use. Gas extraction activities in such areas may involve water management for hydraulic fracturing and produced water, as well as air quality considerations from flaring or equipment emissions. The remote location reduces exposure to populated areas but requires adherence to state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on local ecosystems and groundwater.
