OGRIS OPERATING - GE 19-10 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - GE 19-10 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 15 miles west of Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region. It is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both gas and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. Colorado has its own set of state-level regulations governing oil and gas operations, including the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules. The facility's location in the Raton Basin, a known coalbed methane and conventional gas producing area, aligns with typical extraction operations in the region. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area with low population density, which reduces immediate risk to populated areas. However, the region is subject to seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires and droughts, which are relevant risk factors for gas infrastructure. The facility's operational status and adherence to federal and state regulations are key to its safe and efficient operation.

The facility is located in a rural area of southeastern Colorado, characterized by low population density and semi-arid climate. The region is prone to drought and wildfires, which pose potential risks to gas infrastructure. Additionally, the area experiences low to moderate seismic activity. These environmental factors are considered in the facility's risk profile and operational planning.
