OGRIS OPERATING - HR 33-01 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 33-01 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.9 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is 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 pipeline safety. The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both gas extraction and natural gas liquids recovery. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, often producing 1-10 million cubic feet per day. The facility's operational status is active, contributing to the local gas supply chain. Environmentally, the facility is located 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 hydraulic fracturing operations. The facility's proximity to the Spanish Peaks and the Purgatoire River watershed necessitates careful management of water resources and emissions to minimize ecological impact.
