OGRIS OPERATING - 3-0003857 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - 3-0003857 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 12.9 miles west of Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is operational and falls under the broader gas infrastructure sector in the United States. Its location in the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane production, places it within a significant natural gas producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellheads, gathering lines, and processing equipment to extract and prepare natural gas for transport. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate a focus on both natural gas and associated liquids. The facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Las Animas County. Its operational status suggests ongoing production, supporting regional energy needs and potentially feeding into larger pipeline networks. The environmental context includes the semi-arid climate of southeastern Colorado, with considerations for water usage and land disturbance typical of gas extraction operations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and limited water resources. Gas extraction activities may involve water management for hydraulic fracturing and produced water, as well as air emissions from equipment. Proximity to populated areas like Cokedale requires adherence to setback regulations and monitoring for potential impacts on local communities and ecosystems.
