Evergreen Natural Resources - Olympia 13 Gas Extraction Facility, Aguilar, Colorado

Evergreen Natural Resources - Olympia 13 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 7.5 miles southwest of Aguilar, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). The facility operates within the United States regulatory framework, which includes PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves drilling, well completion, and initial processing of natural gas. The scale of operations is consistent with small to medium-sized extraction sites in the Rocky Mountain region, where Colorado has a significant natural gas industry. This facility plays a role in the local energy infrastructure, supplying natural gas to downstream pipelines and end-users. Its location in a rural area of Las Animas County reduces proximity to dense populations, but operations are subject to state and federal environmental regulations. The facility's contribution to the regional gas grid supports both residential and industrial energy needs.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density development. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing direct exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can involve methane emissions and water usage, which are regulated under state and federal guidelines. The area's seismic and climate hazards are minimal, with no significant earthquake or flood risks reported.
