CROWHEART ENERGY - KALINE SWD #5 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

CROWHEART ENERGY - KALINE SWD #5 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 36.5 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211130, indicating crude petroleum and natural gas extraction activities. It serves as part of the regional gas infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region. The facility operates within the United States regulatory framework, which includes PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado are medium to large scale, often involving high-pressure pipelines and processing equipment. The specific capacity of this facility is not detailed, but such operations generally handle significant volumes of natural gas and associated produced water. Environmentally, the facility is located in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, the area is prone to seismic activity and climate hazards like wildfires, which are relevant risk factors for gas infrastructure. The facility's role in the local gas grid supports energy supply for the region and downstream markets.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado with low population density, which reduces the risk of exposure to populated areas. The area experiences moderate seismic activity and is subject to climate hazards such as wildfires and drought, which can impact gas infrastructure integrity. Local ecosystems include sagebrush steppe and riparian habitats, requiring careful management of produced water and emissions to minimize environmental impact.
