Anadarko drills for natural gas along Colorado's Front Range in the Wattenberg field of the Denver-Julesburg Basin.

In Colorado's Wattenberg field, Anadarko's operations keep a low profile and are strategically placed to balance production with agriculture.

Portions of northeastern Colorado's Wattenberg field cover areas that have seen rapid growth and urban development. As a result, Anadarko works to ensure its operations blend in with the surroundings and utilize small amounts of surface.
