OGRIS OPERATING - HR 07-05V Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 07-05V is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 19.2 miles southwest 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 the safe operation of gas infrastructure. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate it is involved in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. In Colorado, gas extraction facilities typically operate at moderate to high pressures and are subject to state-specific environmental and safety regulations. The region's geology and climate influence operational practices, with attention to seismic stability and weather-related risks. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and economic activity. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain community risks, but adherence to regulatory standards remains critical for safe and efficient operation.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing exposure risks. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity and weather extremes, including drought and wildfires, which can impact infrastructure integrity. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA and state agencies ensures monitoring of these environmental factors.
