OGRIS OPERATING - AC 30-07 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.9 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 US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available data, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines. The region is part of the Raton Basin, known for coalbed methane production. Regulatory compliance includes adherence to state-level Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules. This facility contributes to the local energy supply chain, supporting natural gas production for regional consumption. Its location in a rural area reduces population density risks, but seismic activity in the Rocky Mountain region may pose operational considerations. The facility's role in the broader gas infrastructure network underscores its significance for energy delivery.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and juniper woodlands. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community exposure. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity due to tectonic forces in the Rocky Mountain region, which could impact pipeline integrity. Climate hazards include drought and wildfire risk, which may affect operations and require adaptive management.
