Overview
OGRIS OPERATING - AC 24-04 is a gas extraction facility located near Cokedale, Colorado, USA. It operates under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192.
OGRIS OPERATING - AC 24-04 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 13.6 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 operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in public records, but typical gas extraction operations in this region involve drilling and production from the Raton Basin, known for coalbed methane. The regulatory context includes state-level Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules, which govern well spacing, environmental protection, and reporting. This facility contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, supporting local energy needs and potentially feeding into interstate pipelines. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces some risk factors, but proximity to the Raton Basin's geological features requires careful management of seismic and groundwater impacts.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and piñon-juniper woodlands. The area experiences moderate seismic risk due to historical mining and natural fault lines. Proximity to the Raton Basin requires monitoring of groundwater quality and methane emissions. The low population density reduces exposure to populated areas, but the facility must comply with COGCC regulations for air quality and water protection.
