Pioneer Natural Resources - Delorean 31-13 Gas Extraction Facility, Aguilar, Colorado

Pioneer Natural Resources - Delorean 31-13 is a gas extraction facility located approximately 13.4 miles southwest of Aguilar, Colorado, in Las Animas County. The facility is operational and plays a role in the natural gas production landscape of the United States, specifically within the Rocky Mountain region known for its significant oil and gas reserves. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its involvement in both natural gas and natural gas liquids production. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area of southern Colorado, characterized by semi-arid terrain and proximity to the Spanish Peaks region. Its operations are subject to state and federal environmental regulations aimed at minimizing impacts on air quality, water resources, and local ecosystems. The site's contribution to the regional energy grid supports both local and broader energy demands.

The Delorean 31-13 facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate human exposure risks. However, gas extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions and water resources through potential contamination. The area's seismic activity is generally low, but the facility must adhere to PHMSA regulations for pipeline integrity and safety.
