EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - DALE 44-36 Gas Extraction Facility, Las Animas County, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - DALE 44-36 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 13.9 miles northwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it involves drilling and production activities typical of the region, which is known for its natural gas reserves. The specific capacity and pressure data are not disclosed, but such facilities generally handle significant volumes of natural gas. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Las Animas County. Its location in a rural area reduces proximity to dense populations, but it still requires adherence to safety standards to mitigate risks associated with gas extraction and transport. The facility plays a role in the broader natural gas network serving Colorado and surrounding states.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density rural development. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing immediate human exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, which may pose risks to well integrity and pipeline infrastructure. Regulatory oversight by PHMSA and state agencies helps manage these environmental concerns.
