WEXPRO CO - CARL ALLEN 26 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - CARL ALLEN 26 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 47.1 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. As part of the United States' extensive natural gas infrastructure, it contributes to the country's energy supply. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern pipeline safety and gas transmission. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region involve wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines that transport raw gas to processing plants. Located in the Rocky Mountain region, the facility is part of a broader network that supports local and regional energy needs. Its operational status indicates ongoing extraction activities, which play a role in meeting demand for natural gas in Colorado and beyond. The facility's location in a rural area may reduce certain risks associated with population density.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and grazing lands. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure risks. However, the area is subject to seismic activity from the Rocky Mountain region, and climate hazards such as wildfires and drought may pose operational challenges. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA addresses pipeline integrity and environmental protection.
