OGRIS OPERATING - HR 36-10-67 Gas Extraction Facility, Las Animas County, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - HR 36-10-67 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 13.6 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 both natural gas and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, where gas extraction is governed by federal and state regulations. At the federal level, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) oversees pipeline safety under 49 CFR Part 192, while state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) apply. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, with capacities often measured in millions of standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). This facility contributes to the regional gas supply network, supporting local energy needs and industrial activity. Its location in Las Animas County places it within a landscape that includes agricultural and rural areas, with potential environmental considerations related to water use and air emissions typical of gas extraction operations.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, where water resources are limited and gas extraction activities must manage water usage and potential groundwater impacts. Air quality considerations include emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, which are regulated under state and federal programs. The area is also subject to occasional seismic activity, though risks are generally low for this region.
