OGRIS OPERATING - GE 28-13 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - GE 28-13 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.1 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern gas extraction and transmission. The facility operates within the broader context of Colorado's gas infrastructure, which is subject to state and federal regulatory frameworks. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region employ conventional drilling and processing technologies to extract natural gas from underground reservoirs. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity. Its location in a rural area of Colorado reflects the typical siting of gas extraction operations away from densely populated zones, though proximity to populated areas and environmental factors such as seismic activity are considered in operational risk assessments.

The facility is located in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, characterized by semi-arid climate and low population density. Gas extraction operations in this region must manage risks related to groundwater protection, air emissions, and potential seismic activity. The facility's proximity to the Raton Basin, a known coalbed methane area, may influence local geological conditions and regulatory oversight.
