WEXPRO CO - ACE UNIT #10 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO CO - ACE UNIT #10 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, near Craig, Colorado. The facility is operational and plays a role in the regional natural gas supply chain within the United States. As a gas extraction site, it 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. The facility's NAICS codes (211112 and 211130) indicate involvement in natural gas extraction and natural gas liquid extraction, respectively. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado range from small to medium scale, often serving local gathering systems. The facility's location in northwestern Colorado places it within the Rocky Mountain region, an area with significant natural gas reserves. Its operational status contributes to the local energy infrastructure, supporting downstream processing and distribution networks. The environmental context includes proximity to rural and semi-arid landscapes, with considerations for water usage and methane emissions management.

The facility is situated in Moffat County, Colorado, a region characterized by semi-arid climate and low population density. Gas extraction operations in this area must manage potential impacts on local air quality, water resources, and wildlife habitats. Proximity to populated areas is low, but seismic and climate hazard exposure (e.g., wildfires, drought) are relevant risk factors.
