PIONEER NAT RES - TRINIDAD 32-27 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale Area, Colorado

PIONEER NAT RES - TRINIDAD 32-27 is a gas extraction facility located in the Cokedale Area of Colorado, United States. The facility is operational and situated in Las Animas County, within the Trinidad region. It is part of the broader natural gas extraction infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region. The facility operates under US federal and state regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas gathering and transmission. As a gas extraction site, it typically involves wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to process raw natural gas. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in both gas and NGL production. This facility contributes to the natural gas supply chain in Colorado, supporting local energy needs and downstream markets. Its location in a rural area of Las Animas County reflects typical siting for extraction operations, with considerations for environmental management and community safety.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and agricultural land. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction operations involve potential risks such as fugitive emissions, water usage, and seismic activity. The area is not known for high seismic hazard, but climate factors like drought and wildfire could pose operational risks.
