OGRIS OPERATING - GE 31-08 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - GE 31-08 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.5 miles west of Cokedale. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it plays a role in the natural gas supply chain within the region. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available records, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve drilling and wellhead processing. The state's regulatory framework includes Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules, which address well construction, emissions, and water management. The facility's NAICS codes indicate it may engage in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction (211111) and natural gas liquid extraction (211130). Environmentally, the facility is located in a rural area of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing certain community risks. However, the region is subject to seismic activity and climate hazards such as wildfires, which are relevant to gas infrastructure operations. The facility's operational status and compliance with federal and state regulations contribute to its role in local energy supply.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Las Animas County, Colorado, with low population density. The region experiences a semi-arid climate and is prone to drought and wildfire risks, which can impact gas infrastructure. Seismic activity in the area is generally low, but the facility's location near the Raton Basin may pose some geological considerations. Compliance with PHMSA and COGCC regulations helps mitigate environmental risks.
