QB ENERGY OPERATING - F21OU PF Gas Extraction Facility, De Beque, Colorado

QB ENERGY OPERATING - F21OU PF is a gas extraction facility situated in De Beque, Mesa County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas production, which is a key component of the local energy sector. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the safe transportation of natural gas. The NAICS codes 211111 and 211130 indicate that the facility is involved in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction as well as natural gas liquid extraction, typical for gas extraction operations in the region. Located in the Colorado Plateau region, the facility is part of a broader network of gas infrastructure that supports local and regional energy needs. The area's geology and existing infrastructure make it suitable for gas extraction, contributing to the energy supply chain and economic activity in Mesa County.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Colorado, characterized by rugged terrain and proximity to the Colorado River. Gas extraction operations in this area must manage potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. The facility's location in a rural setting reduces population density risks, but seismic activity in the region is low to moderate, requiring standard engineering practices for well integrity.
