EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - TINA 32-27 Gas Extraction Facility near Cokedale, Colorado

EVERGREEN NATURAL RESOURCES - TINA 32-27 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 13 miles west 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 United States, governed by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado involve drilling and production wells, gathering pipelines, and processing equipment. The scale of such facilities varies, but they often handle capacities ranging from a few million to hundreds of million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). This facility contributes to the regional gas supply, supporting local energy needs and industrial activities. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, though seismic and climate hazards in the region are considered. The facility's role in the gas value chain is significant for downstream consumers and the broader energy grid.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires and droughts, which are typical for the region. Operational practices must comply with environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on local ecosystems and water resources.
