SEELEY OIL CO - SPARGO NO 2 Gas Extraction Facility, Dove Creek, Colorado

SEELEY OIL CO - SPARGO NO 2 is a gas extraction facility situated in Dolores County, Colorado, approximately 13.2 miles southwest of Dove Creek. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, which is part of the broader U.S. gas infrastructure network. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves drilling and production activities to bring natural gas to the surface. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in hydrocarbon production. Located in a rural area of southwestern Colorado, the facility supports local energy needs and contributes to the regional economy. Its operational status ensures continued gas supply to downstream processing and distribution networks. The site's environmental context includes arid high-desert terrain with potential considerations for water use and land disturbance typical of extraction activities.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density. Gas extraction operations in such areas typically involve managing water resources, air emissions, and land restoration. The site's distance from populated centers reduces immediate exposure risks, but seismic and climate hazards (e.g., wildfires) may be relevant. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA and state agencies helps mitigate environmental impacts.
