OGRIS OPERATING - AC 04-07 Gas Extraction Facility near Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - AC 04-07 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.7 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and situated in a region known for natural gas production within the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is part of the broader natural gas supply chain, with typical operations involving drilling, well completion, and initial processing. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both natural gas and natural gas liquids extraction. This facility contributes to the regional energy infrastructure, supporting local and national energy demands. Its location in Colorado places it within a state with significant natural gas reserves and a well-established regulatory environment. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing gas supply to downstream markets, highlighting its role in the energy grid.

The facility is located in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, characterized by semi-arid terrain and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing potential exposure risks. The region experiences moderate seismic activity, and the facility's design likely incorporates standard safety measures for gas extraction operations. Climate hazards such as wildfires or extreme weather may pose operational risks, but regulatory compliance under PHMSA helps mitigate these factors.
