OGRIS OPERATING - AC 06-04V Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - AC 06-04V is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 17.2 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US federal pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the design, construction, and operation of gas infrastructure. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate it is involved in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction as well as natural gas liquid extraction. In Colorado, gas extraction facilities typically operate in the Denver-Julesburg Basin or the Raton Basin, with this site likely tapping into the latter. The region's gas infrastructure is characterized by moderate-scale operations with varying pressures and vintages. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate risk to populated areas. However, the area is prone to occasional seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires, which are relevant risk factors for gas extraction operations. The facility's role in the local gas grid supports regional energy supply and economic activity.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado with low population density, which reduces the risk of exposure to populated areas. The area experiences occasional seismic activity and is prone to wildfires, both of which are relevant risk factors for gas extraction infrastructure. The facility's operational practices must account for these environmental conditions to ensure safety and compliance.
