WEXPRO CO - CARL ALLEN 25 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - CARL ALLEN 25 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 47.9 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is situated in a region known for its natural gas production within the broader Rocky Mountain energy corridor. 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 and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to process raw natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for the region, which has seen significant development in natural gas extraction from formations such as the Niobrara and Mancos shales. Environmentally, the facility is located in a semi-arid area with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, the extraction process involves potential emissions and water usage, which are managed under state and federal environmental regulations. The facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Moffat County.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing direct community exposure to operational risks. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through fugitive emissions and contribute to water resource demands. The area is subject to seismic activity typical of the Rocky Mountain region, which is considered moderate. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ensures compliance with environmental standards.
