Overview
ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - WB LASHER 8 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, near Dinosaur. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - WB LASHER 8 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 52.3 miles north of Dinosaur. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas gathering infrastructure in the region. Its location in the Rocky Mountain region places it within a significant area for natural gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead processing and initial separation of natural gas from produced fluids. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and NGL production. This facility contributes to the natural gas supply chain in Colorado, a state with substantial gas reserves. Its remote location in Moffat County reduces proximity to dense populations, but the facility must still adhere to safety standards for pressure control and leak detection. The operational status ensures ongoing contribution to regional energy infrastructure.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing immediate risk to communities. However, gas extraction operations can impact local air quality through fugitive emissions and require careful management of produced water. The area experiences cold winters and potential seismic activity, though seismic risk is low. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA addresses pipeline integrity and environmental protection.
