ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - BW MUSSER 27 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - BW MUSSER 27 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 46.8 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211130, indicating crude petroleum and natural gas extraction activities. Its location in the Rocky Mountain region places it within a significant natural gas producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas gathering and transmission. In Colorado, additional state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission apply. The facility's scale is typical for a midstream gas gathering operation in the region, focusing on collecting natural gas from nearby wells. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. The facility's role in the gas supply chain supports regional energy needs and contributes to the broader US natural gas infrastructure.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by low population density and sensitive ecosystems such as sagebrush steppe and riparian areas. Gas extraction operations can affect local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, and may impact water resources through hydraulic fracturing and produced water management. The area's seismic risk is low, but climate hazards include drought and wildfire, which can affect infrastructure integrity.
