BEEMAN O&G - SIMOES 22-30 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

BEEMAN O&G - SIMOES 22-30 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 3.7 miles north of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111, 211112, and 211130, covering crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, natural gas liquid extraction, and natural gas extraction. As part of the United States' extensive gas infrastructure, it contributes to the region's energy supply. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. While specific technical specifications such as capacity are not detailed, typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado's Moffat County involve moderate-scale operations, often associated with the Piceance Basin's natural gas production. The region's geology and established infrastructure support ongoing extraction activities. Environmentally, the facility's location in a semi-arid region with cold winters presents operational considerations such as freeze protection and water management. Its proximity to populated areas like Craig necessitates adherence to safety protocols to mitigate risks. The facility plays a role in the local energy economy, supporting downstream processing and distribution networks.

The facility is situated in Moffat County, Colorado, a region characterized by semi-arid climate with cold winters and hot summers. Proximity to the town of Craig (3.7 miles south) introduces considerations for noise, air quality, and potential water resource impacts. The area's seismic activity is low, but the facility must manage risks associated with high-pressure operations and potential methane leaks. Local wildlife habitats, including sagebrush and riparian areas, require careful operational planning to minimize ecological disruption.
