EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - BULL 12-11 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - BULL 12-11 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 4.9 miles northwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is situated in the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane and conventional natural gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is subject to Colorado state regulations for oil and gas operations, including permitting and environmental compliance. The typical scale for such facilities in the region varies, with production rates often measured in millions of standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). This facility contributes to the natural gas supply chain in southeastern Colorado, supporting local energy needs and regional grid stability. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain community risks, but it remains subject to standard operational hazards associated with gas extraction, such as well integrity and fugitive emissions management.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and scrublands. Proximity to populated areas is low, with Cokedale being a small town. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though generally low magnitude. Climate hazards include drought and wildfire risk. The facility's operations are regulated to minimize impacts on air quality and water resources, with typical mitigation measures for gas extraction sites.
