OGRIS OPERATING - AC 07-15V Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - AC 07-15V is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 18.2 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 situated in a region known for its natural gas production within the Raton Basin. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the design, construction, and operation of gas pipelines. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering lines to process raw natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for a mid-sized extraction facility in the region. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and supports the broader natural gas infrastructure in Colorado. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain operational risks. The facility plays a role in the regional gas grid, supplying natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density development. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure to nearby communities. The area has moderate seismic activity, and the facility's design must account for local climate hazards such as wildfires and occasional heavy precipitation. Operational practices are subject to state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate impacts on air and water quality.
