Antler Energy - Powder Wash Federal 28-11 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

Antler Energy - Powder Wash Federal 28-11 is a gas extraction facility located in Craig, Colorado, United States. The facility is situated in Moffat County, an area known for its natural gas production within the Rocky Mountain region. As an operational gas extraction plant, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas value chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. Additionally, it is subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate that the facility is involved in natural gas extraction and related support activities. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, with capacities varying based on reservoir characteristics. Environmentally, the facility is located in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction operations can involve flaring, venting, and potential methane leaks, which are regulated to minimize environmental impact. The facility's proximity to the Powder Wash area suggests it may be part of a larger field development, contributing to regional energy supply and local economic activity.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by low population density and significant natural gas reserves. Gas extraction operations in this area are subject to regulations aimed at minimizing methane emissions and protecting air and water quality. The local environment includes sagebrush steppe and wildlife habitats, requiring careful management of surface disturbances and water usage.
