Evergreen Natural Resources - Bowman 41- Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Evergreen Natural Resources - Bowman 41- is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 2.6 miles northwest of Cokedale. 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 adheres to DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both gas and natural gas liquids production. Typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve moderate-scale production from the Raton Basin, known for coalbed methane and conventional gas. The facility's location in a rural area suggests lower population density, which can influence risk profiles. Environmentally, the facility operates in a region with semi-arid climate and varied topography. Proximity to populated areas is limited, but the facility must manage potential impacts such as water usage, emissions, and land disturbance. Its operational status underscores its role in meeting regional energy demands, and it is subject to state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate ecological effects.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density population. Gas extraction activities here may involve water-intensive hydraulic fracturing and potential methane emissions. The area's seismic risk is low, but the facility must comply with Colorado's strict air quality and water management regulations to minimize environmental impact.
