WEXPRO CO - JACK'S DRAW 17 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - JACK'S DRAW 17 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 48.3 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US federal pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192. As a gas extraction site, the facility is involved in the initial production phase of natural gas. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and natural gas liquids extraction. The facility's location in the Rocky Mountain region places it within a significant gas-producing area, with typical extraction operations involving wellheads, separators, and gathering lines. The facility contributes to the regional gas supply infrastructure, supporting local energy needs and downstream processing. Its operational status and location in a sparsely populated area reduce certain risk factors, though adherence to safety standards remains critical for environmental and community protection.

The facility is located in a rural area of Moffat County, Colorado, characterized by arid climate and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing exposure risks. However, the region is subject to seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires, which could impact infrastructure integrity. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA ensures safety measures for pressure management and leak detection.
