PIONEER NAT RES - CORAZON 13-10 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

PIONEER NAT RES - CORAZON 13-10 is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 8.7 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is situated in the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane production. As a gas extraction site in the United States, the facility operates under the regulatory framework of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. The facility's scale is typical for the region, with extraction activities focused on natural gas production. The specific capacity (mmscfd) is not detailed, but the site contributes to the broader gas infrastructure serving the area. The facility plays a role in the local energy supply chain, supporting natural gas production for industrial and residential use. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, though it is subject to standard environmental monitoring and safety protocols under federal and state regulations.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but climate hazards such as drought and wildfire could impact operations. Standard mitigation measures for gas extraction include leak detection and pressure monitoring.
