Overview
WEXPRO - F WILSON 21 PW TANK is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, USA. It operates under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192.
WEXPRO - F WILSON 21 PW TANK is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 54.9 miles northeast of Dinosaur. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211130, which cover crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Its location in the remote, sparsely populated area of northwestern Colorado places it within a region known for significant oil and gas activity. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves the separation of natural gas from produced water and other hydrocarbons. The specific capacity of the facility is not detailed, but typical gas extraction operations in this region range from small to medium scale. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, the extraction process involves handling pressurized hydrocarbons, which requires adherence to strict safety protocols to prevent leaks or accidents. The facility's role in the local gas infrastructure contributes to the energy supply chain, supporting downstream processing and distribution networks.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a remote, semi-arid area of Moffat County, Colorado, with low population density. The primary environmental considerations for gas extraction operations include potential impacts on air quality from fugitive emissions, water usage and disposal of produced water, and risks of spills or leaks. The region's seismic activity is low, but the facility must comply with federal and state regulations to mitigate environmental risks.
