OGRIS OPERATING - 3-0003965 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - 3-0003965 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 18.4 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is part of the United States' extensive natural gas infrastructure, contributing to the region's energy supply. The facility operates under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both gas extraction and processing. In Colorado, gas extraction facilities are subject to state and federal regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. The facility's location in a rural area suggests it may serve as a gathering point for regional gas production. As an operational gas extraction site, this facility plays a role in the local energy economy and the broader natural gas supply chain. Its proximity to the Raton Basin, a known coalbed methane and conventional gas producing area, places it within a significant gas-producing region. The facility's operations contribute to the energy needs of Colorado and beyond.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and juniper woodlands. Gas extraction activities in this area may involve water usage for hydraulic fracturing and produced water management. The region's seismic activity is generally low, but the facility's infrastructure must comply with PHMSA regulations to ensure pipeline integrity and minimize risks to surrounding ecosystems and communities.
