WEXPRO CO - JACK'S DRAW 2 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 48 miles northwest of Craig. The facility operates within the United States' extensive natural gas infrastructure, which is regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it plays a role in the upstream segment of the natural gas value chain. The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its involvement in both natural gas and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates in the Rocky Mountain region, known for its significant natural gas reserves. The regulatory framework ensures adherence to safety standards for well operations and gas processing. Environmentally, the facility is located in a rural area of northwestern Colorado, characterized by semi-arid terrain and proximity to the Green River Basin. The operational status suggests ongoing extraction activities that support local energy needs and contribute to the national gas supply. The facility's location away from dense population centers reduces certain risk factors, though it remains subject to standard environmental monitoring for gas extraction operations.

Environmental context

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, near the Green River Basin. The area experiences low population density, which reduces potential exposure to populated areas. However, the region is prone to seismic activity due to its geological setting, and gas extraction operations must consider climate hazards such as drought and wildfire risk. Standard environmental management practices for gas extraction, including emissions control and water management, are applicable.
