Overview
WEXPRO CO - JACK'S DRAW 8 is a natural gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 45 miles northwest of Craig. It operates as part of the U.S. gas infrastructure under PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
WEXPRO CO - JACK'S DRAW 8 is a natural gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, about 44.8 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and contributes to the regional gas supply, serving the broader U.S. energy market. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the upstream segment of the natural gas value chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety and gas transmission. The NAICS codes 211111 and 211130 indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, and natural gas liquid extraction, respectively. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado's Piceance Basin involve well pads, gathering lines, and processing equipment. This facility plays a role in meeting regional energy demand and supporting local economic activity in Moffat County. Its location in a sparsely populated area reduces certain community-related risks, though seismic and climate hazards in the Rocky Mountain region are factors considered in operational planning.
Environmental context
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 potential exposure to gas extraction operations. Seismic activity in the region is low to moderate, and climate hazards such as wildfires and winter storms are relevant. The facility's operational practices must comply with state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on local air and water resources.
