BEEMAN O&G - BULLDOG 5-14H-789 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

BEEMAN O&G - BULLDOG 5-14H-789 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 7.2 miles northeast 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 sits in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a region known for significant 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 gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering lines to process raw natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for the region, with multiple wells contributing to local gas supply. This facility plays a role in supplying natural gas to the regional grid and local communities. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces some risk factors, though proximity to sensitive ecosystems in the Rocky Mountain region requires careful environmental management. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to energy infrastructure.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and pinyon-juniper woodlands. The area supports wildlife such as mule deer and greater sage-grouse. Gas extraction activities can impact air quality through emissions and water resources through hydraulic fracturing. The facility's location away from major population centers reduces human exposure risks, but local environmental monitoring is essential to mitigate potential ecological effects.
