PIONEER NAT RES - FAT TIRE 33-19 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 4.7 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under the US regulatory framework for natural gas extraction, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192. Its NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. The facility operates in a region with a history of oil and gas development, typical of the Raton Basin. Gas extraction facilities in this area generally involve well pads, gathering lines, and processing equipment. The regulatory context includes federal and state oversight from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), which enforces rules on well construction, emissions, and water management. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a semi-arid region with potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. Its proximity to the Spanish Peaks and rural communities underscores the importance of adherence to environmental regulations. The facility contributes to the regional natural gas supply, supporting local energy needs and economic activity.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, near the Spanish Peaks and rural communities. Gas extraction in this area can affect local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, as well as water resources due to hydraulic fracturing and produced water management. The site's proximity to populated areas and seismic activity in the Raton Basin are relevant risk factors.
