Pioneer Natural Resources - Gregg Canyon 31-13 TR is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 9.8 miles northwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply in the region, which is part of the larger Rocky Mountain gas-producing area. 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 govern pipeline safety and integrity. As a gas extraction site, it likely utilizes conventional drilling and production techniques typical of the region, with associated gathering pipelines transporting gas to processing plants. This facility plays a role in the local energy infrastructure, supporting natural gas supply for residential, commercial, and industrial use in southeastern Colorado. Its location in a rural area with moderate population density influences operational considerations related to safety and environmental monitoring.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density development. Proximity to populated areas is limited, reducing immediate exposure risks. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity and drought conditions, which may influence operational practices and infrastructure resilience.
