Resource Energy Can-Am, LLC - Oil Extraction Facility in Littleton, Colorado

Resource Energy Can-Am, LLC is an oil extraction facility situated at 1805 Shea Center Dr, Littleton, Colorado, in the United States. The facility operates within the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas production. As an oil extraction operation, it is classified under NAICS code 211120, which covers crude petroleum extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). Colorado's oil and gas operations are also subject to state regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). Typical extraction methods in this region include hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which are common for accessing tight oil formations. The facility's location in Douglas County places it near the Front Range urban corridor, where oil extraction activities are balanced with community and environmental considerations. The operational status indicates active production, contributing to the regional energy supply. The facility's role in the local economy and energy infrastructure is significant, supporting jobs and energy independence.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region with limited water resources, making water management a key environmental concern for oil extraction operations. The use of hydraulic fracturing requires significant water volumes, and produced water management is critical to prevent contamination of groundwater. Air emissions from drilling and production activities, including volatile organic compounds and methane, are regulated under the EPA's New Source Performance Standards. The proximity to the Front Range urban area adds pressure to minimize environmental impacts through best management practices.
