ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - MFS 20-1 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - MFS 20-1 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 49.2 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). It serves as part of the natural gas supply chain in the region. 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 the safe transportation of natural gas. In Colorado, gas extraction facilities are also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The typical scale for such facilities in this region involves gathering lines that collect gas from multiple wells and transport it to processing plants or pipelines. Environmentally, the facility is located in a rural area of northwestern Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and sagebrush steppe ecosystems. Its operational significance lies in supporting the regional natural gas infrastructure, contributing to energy supply for residential, commercial, and industrial users. The facility's proximity to populated areas is limited due to its remote location, reducing certain risk factors associated with gas extraction.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, with sagebrush steppe and grassland ecosystems. The area experiences low precipitation and temperature extremes. Gas extraction operations in this region must manage potential impacts on air quality, water resources, and wildlife habitats. The remote location reduces exposure to populated areas, but seismic and climate hazards, such as wildfires and drought, are relevant considerations for infrastructure resilience.
