WEXPRO CO - SUGARLOAF GO Gas Extraction Facility, Dinosaur, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - SUGARLOAF GO is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 49.3 miles north of Dinosaur. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. It is situated in the Uinta-Piceance Basin, a major natural gas producing area. The facility operates under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas gathering and transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering lines. The NAICS codes 211111 and 211130 indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction, suggesting a multi-product operation. This facility plays a role in meeting regional energy demand and supporting local economic activity. Its location in a sparsely populated area reduces certain population-related risks, though it may face challenges from winter weather and seismic activity typical of the Rocky Mountain region.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by sagebrush steppe and pinyon-juniper woodlands. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing exposure risks. However, the area is subject to cold winters and potential seismic activity, which can affect infrastructure integrity. The facility's operations are subject to state and federal environmental regulations, including air quality and water management requirements.
