SNYDER OIL CORP HOLBECK COMPRESSOR STA - Gas Extraction Facility in Brush, Colorado

SNYDER OIL CORP HOLBECK COMPRESSOR STA is a gas extraction facility located in Brush, Morgan County, Colorado, United States. The facility operates as a compressor station, a critical component in natural gas infrastructure that maintains pressure for gas transport from extraction sites to processing plants. Its location in the Denver-Julesburg Basin places it within a major oil and gas producing region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. As a compressor station, it likely handles moderate volumes of natural gas, typical for gathering systems in this basin. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate involvement in both gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. Environmentally, the facility's location in rural Morgan County reduces immediate population exposure, though proximity to agricultural areas and the South Platte River watershed may require attention to emissions and water management. The station plays a role in the regional gas grid, supporting energy supply for Colorado and broader markets. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to local energy infrastructure.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid agricultural region of northeastern Colorado, near the South Platte River. Local environmental considerations include potential impacts on air quality from compressor emissions and water resources from produced water management. The area experiences occasional drought conditions, which may affect water availability for operations. Seismic risk in this region is low, but the facility's proximity to populated areas in Brush requires adherence to PHMSA safety regulations to mitigate risks from high-pressure gas operations.
