OGRIS OPERATING - HR 34-06 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 34-06 is a natural gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 14.6 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS code 211130, which covers natural gas extraction activities. Its location in the Raton Basin, a known coalbed methane producing region, places it within a significant area for gas production in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely employs standard wellhead equipment and gathering systems to process and transport natural gas. The scale of operations is typical for a single-well or small multi-well pad in the region, with production volumes varying based on reservoir characteristics. Environmentally, the facility's location in a semi-arid region with low population density reduces some risk factors, but proximity to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and potential for seismic activity in Colorado may influence operational safety. The facility contributes to local energy supply and economic activity in Las Animas County, supporting regional gas infrastructure and downstream consumers.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado with low population density, which reduces exposure to populated area risks. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity due to its proximity to the Sangre de Cristo fault zone. The facility's operations involve natural gas extraction, which can impact local air quality through methane emissions and water resources through hydraulic fracturing if employed. Regulatory oversight by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) addresses these environmental concerns.
