SIMCOE LLC - PAYNE, EVELYN GAS UNIT A1 is a gas extraction facility located in the Bayfield Area of La Plata County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and falls under the gas extraction sector, serving the natural gas supply chain in the region. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead operations and initial processing before gas enters transmission pipelines. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and NGL production. Located in the San Juan Basin, a significant natural gas producing area, this facility contributes to regional energy supply. Its proximity to the Bayfield Area and La Plata County underscores its role in supporting local and national gas infrastructure, with typical environmental considerations including well pad management and methane emission controls.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in the San Juan Basin, a region with active natural gas extraction. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on local air quality from methane emissions and the need for groundwater protection during drilling and extraction. The area's semi-arid climate and proximity to the Southern Rocky Mountains require careful management of water resources and erosion control. Regulatory compliance with PHMSA and state-level Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules helps mitigate these risks.
