EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - HUSKY 14-6 Gas Extraction Facility, Aguilar, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - HUSKY 14-6 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 12.1 miles southwest of Aguilar. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is situated in a region known for its natural gas production, contributing to the local energy supply chain. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the safe transportation of natural gas. As a gas extraction site, it likely employs standard extraction technologies such as well drilling and gas processing to separate natural gas from other hydrocarbons. The scale of operations is typical for the region, which is part of the Raton Basin, a known natural gas-producing area. Environmentally, the facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces immediate community exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can have local environmental impacts, including potential groundwater concerns and air emissions. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to regional gas supply, supporting downstream industrial and residential energy needs.

The facility is located in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, with low population density, which reduces the risk of exposure to nearby communities. The region's semi-arid climate and geological characteristics typical of the Raton Basin may influence operational practices related to water management and emissions control. Proximity to natural habitats and agricultural lands necessitates adherence to environmental regulations to mitigate potential impacts on local ecosystems.
