Western Gas Resources Inc Cabin Creek - Gas Extraction Facility in Deer Trail, Colorado

Western Gas Resources Inc Cabin Creek is a gas extraction facility located at 1550 S Price Rd, Deer Trail, Colorado, within Arapahoe County. The facility is operational and serves the natural gas sector in the United States, contributing to the country's extensive gas infrastructure network. 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, typically involving drilling and initial processing. The NAICS codes 211111 and 211130 indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Located in the high plains of eastern Colorado, the facility is situated in a region with a mix of agricultural and energy activities. Its operational status ensures a steady supply of natural gas to downstream markets, supporting local energy needs and the broader US gas grid. The facility's role in the sector is significant for regional energy security and economic activity.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate risks to populated areas. However, gas extraction activities can pose environmental concerns such as methane emissions and groundwater impacts. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, which may affect pipeline integrity. Regulatory oversight by PHMSA and state agencies helps mitigate these risks.
