EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - CAMEO 22-2 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - CAMEO 22-2 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 3.8 miles north of Cokedale. The facility operates within the United States' robust regulatory framework for natural gas infrastructure, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192. As a gas extraction site, it contributes to the regional energy supply chain. 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 facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, often tied to the Raton Basin's coalbed methane and conventional gas plays. The operational status is active, suggesting ongoing production. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, gas extraction operations involve potential emissions and water usage considerations. The facility's proximity to the Fishers Peak State Park area underscores the importance of adherence to state and federal environmental regulations to minimize ecological impact.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado with low population density, which reduces direct community exposure to operational risks. Gas extraction activities in this area are subject to Colorado's stringent air quality and water management regulations, including methane emission controls. The surrounding landscape supports mixed-grass prairie and piñon-juniper woodlands, requiring careful management of surface disturbances and water resources to protect local ecosystems.
