OGRIS OPERATING - HR 07-12V Gas Extraction Facility, Las Animas County, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 07-12V is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 19.4 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and situated in the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane production. It operates under the regulatory oversight of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipeline safety. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Gas extraction facilities in this region typically range from small to medium scale, with capacities often between 10 and 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). The facility is subject to Colorado's stringent oil and gas regulations, including the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules. OGRIS OPERATING - HR 07-12V contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity. The facility's location in a rural area reduces population density risks, but the mountainous terrain and seismic activity in Colorado may pose operational challenges. Regular inspections and adherence to federal and state regulations help ensure safe and reliable gas extraction.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and piñon-juniper woodlands. The area experiences moderate seismic activity due to the nearby Sangre de Cristo fault zone. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing risk to communities. However, gas extraction operations can impact local air quality and water resources, requiring careful management of emissions and produced water.
