WEXPRO - JC DONNELL 17 Gas Extraction Facility, Moffat County, Colorado

WEXPRO - JC DONNELL 17 is a gas extraction facility located in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 49.5 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is situated in a region known for natural gas production within the Rocky Mountain area. As an operational gas extraction site, it contributes to the local energy supply chain. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas gathering and transmission. The NAICS codes 211112 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate its role in both extraction and processing. Environmental considerations for this facility include its location in a semi-arid region with potential for seismic activity and climate-related hazards such as wildfires. The facility's proximity to populated areas and operating pressure are key risk factors. Its role in the regional gas grid supports local energy needs and downstream industrial users.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by low precipitation and temperature extremes. The area is subject to seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires and droughts, which can impact gas infrastructure. Proximity to populated areas and sensitive ecosystems requires careful management of operational risks.
