EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - THOROUGHMA Gas Extraction Facility, Las Animas County, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - THOROUGHMA is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, about 13.4 miles northwest of Cokedale. The facility operates within the United States' natural gas sector, which is regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under 49 CFR Part 192 for pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the upstream segment of the natural gas supply chain. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available data, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve drilling and well completion, often using hydraulic fracturing. The state's regulatory framework includes the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules. The facility's NAICS codes indicate it engages in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction (211111) and natural gas liquid extraction (211130). Environmentally, the facility is located in a rural area of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and agricultural land. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community risk. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality and water resources, and are subject to state and federal environmental regulations. The facility's operational status suggests ongoing contribution to regional energy supply.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, with low population density. The region's semi-arid climate and grassland ecosystem may be sensitive to potential emissions and water usage from gas extraction. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the COGCC addresses air and water quality concerns. Seismic risk in the area is low, but induced seismicity from injection wells is a consideration in the region.
