GRYNBERG PETROLEUM CO Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

GRYNBERG PETROLEUM CO is a gas extraction facility located approximately 17 miles north of Craig, Colorado, in Moffat County. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas sector in the United States, a country with extensive gas infrastructure and stringent regulatory oversight. 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 pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the upstream segment of the natural gas supply chain, focusing on the initial recovery of natural gas from underground reservoirs. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and natural gas liquids extraction. Located in a rural area of northwestern Colorado, the facility contributes to the regional energy supply. The region's gas infrastructure supports local communities and industrial activities, with the facility's operations integrated into the broader network of gas transmission and distribution systems. Its environmental context includes proximity to populated areas and potential exposure to seismic or climate hazards, though specific risk factors are not detailed.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Moffat County, Colorado, with low population density. The region experiences a semi-arid climate with potential for drought and wildfire, which could pose operational risks. Seismic activity in the area is generally low, but the facility's proximity to populated areas and its operating pressure are typical considerations for gas extraction sites.
