OGRIS OPERATING - NE 36-03 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

OGRIS OPERATING - NE 36-03 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 18.1 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both upstream gas production and natural gas liquids recovery. 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 governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site in Colorado, it is subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain operational risks. This facility contributes to the regional gas supply chain, supporting local energy needs and potentially feeding into interstate pipelines. Its operational status and location in a historically active gas-producing region underscore its role in maintaining energy infrastructure in southern Colorado.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density development. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The area experiences moderate seismic activity, and climate hazards include occasional wildfires and drought conditions. Operational practices must comply with air quality and water management regulations to mitigate environmental impacts.
