OGRIS OPERATING - AC 10-16V Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - AC 10-16V is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 17.2 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 part of the broader gas infrastructure network in the United States, contributing to the country's energy supply. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. Gas extraction facilities in Colorado typically employ conventional drilling and extraction technologies, with production rates varying based on geological conditions. The region's gas infrastructure is supported by a network of pipelines and processing plants. Environmentally, the facility's location in a rural area of Las Animas County reduces immediate population exposure risks. However, gas extraction operations can have local environmental impacts, including air emissions and water usage. The facility's role in the regional gas grid supports energy delivery to downstream consumers and industrial users.

The facility is located in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, with low population density, which reduces risks associated with proximity to populated areas. The region is subject to seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires and droughts, which can affect gas extraction operations. Regulatory oversight by PHMSA and state agencies helps mitigate environmental risks through safety standards and monitoring.
