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

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 31-08 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 17.7 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211130, indicating crude petroleum and natural gas extraction as well as natural gas liquid extraction. This location is part of the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane production. The facility operates within the United States regulatory framework, which includes PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission and gathering lines. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to process raw natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for a single well pad in the region, with production volumes varying based on reservoir characteristics. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure risks. However, the area is prone to seismic activity due to historical mining and potential induced seismicity from oil and gas operations. The facility's proximity to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Spanish Peaks adds ecological significance, with habitats supporting mule deer, pronghorn, and various bird species.
