Evergreen Natural Resources - Anderson 2 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Evergreen Natural Resources - Anderson 2 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 18.2 miles west of Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is part of the United States' extensive natural gas infrastructure, contributing to the country's energy supply. It operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available records, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve drilling and processing natural gas from underground reservoirs. The state's regulatory framework includes Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules, which govern well construction, production, and environmental protection. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Environmentally, the facility operates in a region with varied terrain and climate. Las Animas County is characterized by semi-arid conditions and is part of the Raton Basin, known for coalbed methane production. The facility's proximity to populated areas and potential seismic activity in the region are considerations for operational safety. Its role in the local gas grid supports energy needs for nearby communities and industries.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado, with potential exposure to seismic activity from the Raton Basin. Proximity to populated areas and the operational pressure of gas extraction equipment are key environmental considerations. The area's climate and geology influence the facility's risk profile, requiring adherence to state and federal regulations to mitigate impacts.
