Overview
PIONEER NAT RES - BOZO 41-22 is a gas extraction facility located near Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
PIONEER NAT RES - BOZO 41-22 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 13.4 miles west of Cokedale, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US federal pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the design, construction, and operation of gas infrastructure. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate it is involved in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Typical gas extraction facilities in Colorado's Raton Basin operate at moderate scales, often with multiple wells feeding into gathering systems. The facility's location in a rural area suggests lower population density, which can reduce certain risk factors. As part of the broader US gas infrastructure network, this facility contributes to regional energy supply. Its operational status and adherence to federal safety standards are key to maintaining reliable gas extraction. The facility's role in the local economy and energy grid underscores its importance, though specific environmental or community impacts are not detailed in available data.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density rural development. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing potential exposure risks. However, the area is subject to seismic activity from the Raton Basin, which could pose operational hazards. Climate hazards such as drought and wildfire are also relevant, potentially affecting infrastructure integrity.
