Tumbleweed Midstream - Archer C.S. Gas Extraction Facility, Cheyenne Wells, Colorado

Tumbleweed Midstream - Archer C.S. is a gas extraction facility located in Cheyenne Wells, Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas sector in the region, contributing to the local energy infrastructure. 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. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the broader midstream segment that processes and transports natural gas from wells to pipelines. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and natural gas liquids extraction. Environmental considerations for this facility include its location in a rural area of eastern Colorado, which reduces population density risks. However, the region is prone to drought and occasional wildfires, which could impact operations. The facility's role in the gas supply chain supports local energy needs and contributes to the state's energy portfolio.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by low population density and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The area experiences moderate seismic activity and is subject to drought conditions, which may influence operational planning. The facility's design and maintenance likely incorporate standard industry practices to mitigate environmental impacts.
