WEXPRO CO - LASHER WELL #10 Gas Extraction Facility in Dinosaur, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - LASHER WELL #10 is a gas extraction facility located in Dinosaur, Moffat County, Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and serves as part of the natural gas supply infrastructure in the region. Its location in northwestern Colorado places it within a significant area for gas production. The facility operates under 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 is involved in the initial phase of natural gas processing, typically including wellhead operations and separation. 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 recovery. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Moffat County. Its operational status ensures continued gas production for downstream markets. The site's location in a rural area reduces immediate population density risks, though standard safety protocols for gas extraction apply.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and pinyon-juniper woodlands. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing direct exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through fugitive emissions and require careful management of produced water. The area's seismic risk is low, but climate hazards such as wildfires and drought may affect operations.
