WEXPRO CO - J.C. DONNELL Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - J.C. DONNELL is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 48.7 miles northwest of Craig, Colorado, in Moffat County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is part of the United States' extensive gas infrastructure network. The facility operates within 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 likely involves wellheads, separation equipment, and gathering pipelines to transport raw gas to processing plants. The scale of operations is typical for the region, which is part of the Rocky Mountain gas-producing area. This facility contributes to the local and regional gas supply, supporting energy needs in Colorado and beyond. Its location in Moffat County places it in a sparsely populated area, reducing certain operational risks. The facility's role in the gas value chain is critical for upstream production, and it operates under established safety and environmental standards.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing exposure risks. The area is subject to cold winters and potential seismic activity, though major hazards are low. Operations must comply with air quality and water management regulations typical for gas extraction in the US.
