Evergreen Natural Resources - Calico 44- Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Evergreen Natural Resources - Calico 44- is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 17.4 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas supply, serving the broader energy infrastructure of the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the upstream segment of the natural gas value chain, with typical capacities varying based on well productivity and local geology. This facility plays a role in meeting regional energy demand and supporting local economic activity. Its location in a rural area of Colorado reflects the typical siting of gas extraction operations away from dense population centers, though proximity to populated areas and environmental considerations remain important operational factors.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and rolling hills. Gas extraction operations in this area may involve water usage, potential emissions, and land disturbance. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing some community exposure risks, but seismic and climate hazard exposure should be considered in operational planning.
