ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - JC DONNELL 9 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - JC DONNELL 9 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 48.3 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both gas and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. In Colorado, gas extraction is also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's location in a rural area of Moffat County suggests it is part of the broader Rocky Mountain gas production region, known for its natural gas reserves. Environmentally, the facility's remote location reduces direct population exposure, but gas extraction activities can involve emissions and water use. The region's semi-arid climate and wildlife habitats, including sagebrush ecosystems, require careful management of operational impacts. The facility's role in gathering gas from local wells contributes to the regional energy supply chain.

The facility is located in a rural area of Moffat County, Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and sagebrush steppe ecosystems. Gas extraction operations can impact local air quality through emissions and water resources through hydraulic fracturing and produced water management. The remote location reduces risk to populated areas, but seismic activity in the region is low to moderate. Regulatory oversight from COGCC addresses environmental protection measures.
