WEXPRO CO - MUSSER 25 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - MUSSER 25 is a gas extraction facility located approximately 47 miles northwest of Craig, Colorado, in Moffat County. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. As part of the United States gas infrastructure, it operates under federal and state regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available data, but typical gas extraction operations in this area involve drilling and wellhead processing. The region's geology supports natural gas production, and facilities like this one are integral to the local energy industry. Regulatory compliance includes adherence to DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety and state-level permitting. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. The facility's role in the grid is to supply natural gas for heating, power generation, and industrial use, supporting both local and regional energy needs.

The facility is located in a sparsely populated area of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and grazing lands. Proximity to populated areas is low, but the region experiences cold winters and potential for seismic activity. Gas extraction operations must manage methane emissions and water usage, with regulatory oversight from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
