Timber Creek - 3-0001691 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

Timber Creek - 3-0001691 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 15.1 miles west of Cokedale. The facility operates within the United States, a country with a mature natural gas sector governed by stringent federal regulations, including PHMSA pipeline safety standards and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas transmission. The facility's technical specifications are not detailed in available data, but typical gas extraction operations in Colorado involve drilling and production from sedimentary basins, often with associated gathering pipelines. The regulatory framework ensures safety through design, construction, and maintenance standards, including pressure testing and leak detection. As part of the regional gas infrastructure, Timber Creek contributes to the supply of natural gas for domestic and industrial use. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risk factors, while the facility's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the energy grid.

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. The area is not prone to significant seismic activity, but climate hazards such as wildfires and drought may pose operational challenges. Standard mitigation measures for gas extraction include leak detection and pressure management.
