Overview
Antler Energy - Amoco Federal 21-1 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, USA. It operates in the natural gas sector, contributing to regional energy supply.
Antler Energy - Amoco Federal 21-1 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 44.6 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and plays a role in the natural gas production landscape of the region, which is part of the larger Rocky Mountain energy basin. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it is involved in the initial phase of natural gas production, which typically includes drilling, well completion, and gas processing. The NAICS code 211130 indicates it is classified under natural gas extraction, a sector that has seen significant activity in Colorado due to the presence of the Niobrara and other formations. Environmentally, the facility is located in a rural area of Moffat County, which is characterized by semi-arid climate and sagebrush steppe ecosystems. The proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can have local environmental impacts, including air emissions and water usage, which are regulated by state and federal agencies to mitigate risks.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and low population density. Gas extraction in this area is subject to state and federal regulations aimed at minimizing environmental impacts, including air quality controls and water management practices. The remote location reduces direct exposure to populated areas, but operations must still comply with standards to protect local ecosystems and groundwater resources.
