Overview
EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - HUNTER CAN is an operational gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA, approximately 9.6 miles northwest of Cokedale.
EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - HUNTER CAN is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, near the town of Cokedale. The facility operates within the United States, a country with extensive natural gas production infrastructure. It 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 recovery. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety for natural gas. Given its location in Colorado, the facility is subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The extraction process typically involves drilling and well completion techniques common in the region, such as hydraulic fracturing, to access natural gas from geological formations. As an operational gas extraction site, the facility contributes to the regional energy supply and supports local economic activity. Its location in Las Animas County places it within a rural area with lower population density, which can influence risk profiles related to proximity to populated areas. The facility's role in the natural gas supply chain is significant for meeting energy demands in the surrounding region and beyond.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and agricultural land. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing potential exposure to residential zones. However, the area is subject to seismic activity, though generally low risk, and climate hazards such as drought and wildfires may pose operational challenges. The facility's operations involve potential impacts on local air quality and water resources, which are managed under state and federal environmental regulations.
Frequently asked questions
The facility is located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 9.6 miles northwest of Cokedale, with the address SEC 34 T32S R66W, postcode 81091.
It is an operational gas extraction facility involved in the production of natural gas and natural gas liquids, classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211130.
Gas extraction facilities in Colorado are regulated by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and must comply with federal PHMSA pipeline safety regulations (DOT 49 CFR Part 192) and environmental laws.
Gas extraction facilities in the U.S. vary widely in scale, from small single-well sites to large multi-well pads. The capacity is often measured in millions of standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd), with medium-scale facilities typically producing between 10 and 100 MMscfd.
Key risk factors include proximity to populated areas, operating pressure, well age, and exposure to seismic or climate hazards. Regulatory compliance and safety management systems mitigate these risks.
