Summit Midstream Niobr - Angus Compressor Station: Oil Extraction Facility near Grover, Colorado

Summit Midstream Niobr - Angus Compressor Station is an operational oil extraction facility located approximately 8.8 miles north of Grover, Colorado, in Weld County. The facility is situated in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil-producing region in the United States. As a compressor station, it supports natural gas and oil extraction by maintaining pressure in pipelines, which is critical for efficient production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations. Colorado's stringent oil and gas regulations, including the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules, also apply. The facility's NAICS codes (211111, 211112, 211120, 211130) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as support activities. This compressor station plays a vital role in the regional oil and gas infrastructure, enabling the transport of hydrocarbons from wells to processing facilities. Its location in Weld County, which is one of the most productive oil and gas counties in the U.S., underscores its significance in supporting domestic energy production. The facility's operations are subject to environmental monitoring and reporting requirements to minimize emissions and ensure compliance.

The facility is located in the semi-arid high plains of northeastern Colorado, an area characterized by agricultural land and oil and gas development. The region's water resources are sensitive to potential contamination from spills or leaks, and air quality can be impacted by emissions from compressor stations. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and COGCC addresses these risks through emission controls and spill prevention measures.
