Southwestern Energy Pro - Weber 32-04 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

Southwestern Energy Pro - Weber 32-04 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 6.5 miles west of Craig, Colorado, in Moffat County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in upstream gas production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, governed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site in the Rocky Mountain region, it likely utilizes conventional drilling and extraction technologies typical of the area, which includes the Piceance Basin known for natural gas reserves. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply infrastructure, supporting local energy needs and potentially feeding into interstate pipelines. Its location in Moffat County places it within a sparsely populated area, reducing certain population-related risks, though seismic and climate hazards in Colorado may be relevant operational considerations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and grazing lands. Proximity to populated areas is low, with Craig being the nearest town. The area experiences cold winters and mild summers, with potential for snowmelt runoff affecting local hydrology. Seismic activity in the region is generally low, but climate hazards such as wildfires and drought could impact operations.
