WEXPRO - POWDER WASH UNIT/JC DONNELL 14 Gas Extraction Facility, Craig, Colorado

WEXPRO - POWDER WASH UNIT/JC DONNELL 14 is a gas extraction facility situated in Moffat County, Colorado, approximately 49.4 miles northwest of Craig. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211112 and 211130, indicating natural gas liquid extraction and natural gas extraction activities. It is part of the broader gas infrastructure network in the United States. As a gas extraction site in Colorado, the facility 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 location in a rural area of northwestern Colorado suggests it is part of the region's natural gas production, which typically involves wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines. Such facilities in this region often range from small to medium scale. The facility's environmental context includes its location in a semi-arid region with potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. Proximity to populated areas is low given the rural setting, but seismic and climate hazards (e.g., wildfires, flash floods) may pose risks. The facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Moffat County.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Colorado, characterized by low population density and natural gas extraction activities. Potential environmental considerations include air emissions from extraction processes, water usage, and land disturbance. The area is subject to climate hazards such as wildfires and flash floods, which could impact operations. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and federal PHMSA standards helps mitigate environmental risks.
