BAYSWATER EXPL - REG 7 & OOOO REPORTING Oil Extraction Facility, Denver, Colorado

BAYSWATER EXPL - REG 7 & OOOO REPORTING is an oil extraction facility located in Denver, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and falls under the upstream oil and gas sector, focusing on the extraction of crude oil and natural gas. Its NAICS codes (211111, 211120, 211130) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction, natural gas extraction, and natural gas liquid extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) such as OOOO and OOOOa for volatile organic compound (VOC) and methane emissions. Colorado's state-level regulations, including those from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), further govern operations to minimize environmental impact. As part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, this facility contributes to the region's significant oil and gas production. Its location in an urban area necessitates stringent emission controls and community engagement. The facility's operational status and compliance with reporting requirements underscore its role in meeting energy demands while adhering to environmental standards.

The facility is situated in the Denver metropolitan area, where oil extraction activities intersect with urban development. This proximity raises concerns about air quality, particularly VOC and methane emissions, which are regulated under EPA's OOOO standards. The region's semi-arid climate and water scarcity also highlight the importance of responsible water management in hydraulic fracturing and production processes.
