Pioneer Natural Resources - Guy 34-10 TR Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Pioneer Natural Resources - Guy 34-10 TR is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, about 13.8 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 part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region, which supplies energy to both local and national markets. As a gas extraction site, 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 governs pipeline safety and integrity. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, though it may be subject to seismic and climate hazards typical of the Colorado Front Range. The facility contributes to the regional natural gas supply chain, supporting downstream processing, transportation, and end-use consumption. Its operational status ensures continued energy production for the surrounding communities and industries, playing a role in the broader U.S. energy infrastructure.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing potential exposure risks. However, the area is prone to occasional seismic activity and severe weather events, including wildfires and flash floods, which could impact operations. The facility's environmental management likely follows state and federal guidelines for emissions and water use.
