Chevron USA - Dyer B-2 Gas Extraction Facility, Dinosaur, Colorado

Chevron USA - Dyer B-2 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 51.3 miles north of Dinosaur. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas supply, operating under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available records, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve well drilling, gas processing, and pipeline transmission. The state's regulatory framework includes Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules, which govern drilling, production, and environmental protection. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. This facility plays a role in the local energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces some risk factors, though operations are subject to standard environmental and safety regulations. The facility's contribution to the regional gas grid underscores its importance in meeting energy demands.

The facility is located in a rural area of northwestern Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The region is not prone to significant seismic activity, but winter weather and remote access can pose operational challenges. Standard environmental controls for gas extraction, including emissions management and spill prevention, are expected to be in place under state and federal regulations.
