OGRIS OPERATING - HR 36-10 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 36-10 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.4 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in upstream gas production. As a gas extraction site in the United States, this facility operates under the regulatory framework of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. The facility's location in the Raton Basin, a region with historical coalbed methane production, aligns with typical gas extraction operations in Colorado. The facility contributes to the regional gas supply infrastructure, supporting local energy needs and downstream processing. Its operational status ensures continued participation in the gas value chain, from extraction to transmission, within the broader context of Colorado's energy landscape.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and juniper woodlands. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing immediate exposure risks. However, the area is subject to seismic activity from the Raton Basin, and climate hazards include drought and wildfire. Operating pressure and vintage of equipment are typical for the region, with standard PHMSA oversight.
