WEXPRO CO - BW MUSSER 24 Natural Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - BW MUSSER 24 is a natural gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 46.2 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction. As part of the United States' extensive gas infrastructure, it contributes to the region's energy supply. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado involve drilling and well operations, often with associated gathering pipelines. The scale of such facilities varies, but they are integral to the state's natural gas production. This facility plays a role in the local gas grid, supporting energy needs in the region. Its location in a rural area of Moffat County reduces proximity to dense populations, though it may still be subject to environmental monitoring. The operational status indicates ongoing contribution to gas supply, with typical environmental considerations including water usage and emissions management.

The facility is located in a rural area of Moffat County, Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing immediate risk from gas extraction operations. However, the region is subject to seismic activity, which can pose hazards to gas infrastructure. Climate hazards such as wildfires and drought may also affect operations. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA addresses these risks through safety standards.
