Evergreen Nat Res - Grouse 13-36 Gas Extraction Facility, Aguilar, Colorado

Evergreen Nat Res - Grouse 13-36 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 8 miles southwest of Aguilar. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, which is part of the larger Rocky Mountain energy basin. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves wellhead operations, separation, and initial processing. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and natural gas liquids production. This facility plays a role in the local energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Its location in a rural area with moderate population density influences operational considerations, including safety and environmental management.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing immediate risk from gas extraction operations. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though not high-risk. Climate hazards include wildfire and drought, which can affect infrastructure integrity. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA and state agencies helps manage these risks.
