OGRIS OPERATING - AC 10-07 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - AC 10-07 is an operational gas extraction facility situated approximately 15.7 miles west of Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility falls under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both natural gas and natural gas liquids production. As a gas extraction site in Colorado, 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 pipeline safety. Colorado's oil and gas operations are also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), which oversees drilling, production, and environmental compliance. The facility contributes to the regional gas supply in southeastern Colorado, an area with a history of energy development. Its location in a rural setting near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains places it in a region with moderate seismic activity and variable climate, including potential for wildfires and winter storms, which are typical risk considerations for gas infrastructure.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and piñon-juniper woodlands. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing population exposure risks. However, the area is prone to occasional wildfires and winter storms, which could impact operations. Seismic hazard in the region is moderate, with historical earthquakes recorded in the Raton Basin. These factors are considered in the facility's risk profile.
