QEPM Gathering I, LLC - Carl Allen 20 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

QEPM Gathering I, LLC - Carl Allen 20 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 48.6 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and falls under the Gas Extraction sector, with NAICS codes 211111 and 211130 indicating crude petroleum and natural gas extraction. Operating within the United States, this facility adheres to federal pipeline safety regulations enforced by PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas gathering and transmission. The facility's remote location in northwestern Colorado suggests it serves as a gathering point for natural gas from nearby wells, typical of the region's oil and gas operations. The facility's role in the local gas infrastructure involves collecting and processing natural gas for downstream transport. Its location in a sparsely populated area reduces certain risk factors, though operations must comply with environmental and safety standards to mitigate potential impacts on local ecosystems and communities.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and grazing lands. Proximity to populated areas is low, but operations involve high-pressure gas handling, requiring adherence to safety protocols. The area experiences cold winters and potential seismic activity, which are considered in facility design and maintenance.
