Chevron USA Inc - Skinner Ridge 28-2 Gas Extraction Facility, De Beque, Colorado

Chevron USA Inc - Skinner Ridge 28-2 is a gas extraction facility located in De Beque, Mesa County, Colorado. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, which is part of the larger Piceance Basin, a significant gas-producing area in the United States. 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 the safe operation of gas pipelines. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering lines to process and transport natural gas. The NAICS codes 211112 and 211130 indicate natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. Located in a rural area of western Colorado, the facility plays a role in supplying natural gas to downstream markets. The region's geology and existing infrastructure support gas extraction, and the facility's operations are subject to state and federal environmental regulations to minimize impacts on local air and water resources.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Colorado, characterized by rugged terrain and limited water resources. Gas extraction activities in this area must manage potential impacts on air quality from emissions and on water resources from hydraulic fracturing and produced water. The proximity to the Colorado River basin adds sensitivity to water management practices.
