WEXPRO CO - BW MUSSER 6 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - BW MUSSER 6 is a natural gas extraction facility situated approximately 46.4 miles northwest of Craig, Colorado, in Moffat County. The facility is operational and falls under the NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. Its location in the Rocky Mountain region places it within a significant natural gas producing area in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's scale is typical for the region, which is known for its substantial natural gas reserves and extraction infrastructure. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. The facility's operational status and compliance with regulatory standards are critical for minimizing environmental risks. Its role in the regional gas supply chain supports energy needs in the western United States.

The facility is located in a semi-arid, sparsely populated area of northwestern Colorado, which reduces direct human exposure to potential emissions. The region's climate and seismic activity are generally low-risk for gas infrastructure. However, gas extraction can contribute to local air emissions and water usage, requiring adherence to state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on nearby ecosystems and groundwater.
