Overview
ANDEAVOR GATHERING I, LLC - WB LASHER 9 is an operational 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 9 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 52.3 miles north of Dinosaur. 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 upstream gas production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, governed by PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. In Colorado, gas extraction is also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), which oversees well spacing, environmental protections, and operational safety. The facility's location in Moffat County places it in a region with significant natural gas production from the Piceance Basin. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. The facility's operational status and adherence to federal and state regulations help mitigate these risks, contributing to the regional energy supply chain.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a remote, semi-arid area of northwestern Colorado with low population density, which reduces potential exposure to nearby communities. Gas extraction in the Piceance Basin involves hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which can affect groundwater and air quality. Regulatory oversight by the COGCC and federal agencies aims to minimize environmental impacts through well integrity requirements and emissions controls.
