Chevron USA Inc- Skinner Ridge 7-27E Gas Extraction Facility, De Beque, Colorado

Chevron USA Inc- Skinner Ridge 7-27E is a gas extraction facility located in De Beque, Mesa County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, situated within the Piceance Basin, a significant gas-producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it involves drilling and initial processing of natural gas, with typical capacities varying by well configuration. This facility plays a role in meeting local and regional energy demands. Its location in a rural area of Colorado reduces proximity to dense populations, though it is subject to seismic and climate hazard exposure common to the Rocky Mountain region. The facility's operations are part of a broader network supporting downstream gas infrastructure.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of western Colorado, characterized by rugged terrain and seasonal wildfire risk. Proximity to populated areas is low, but operations may impact local air quality and water resources. Seismic activity in the region is moderate, and climate hazards include drought and extreme temperature variations, which can affect infrastructure integrity.
