TIMBER CREEK - 3-0005808 & TIMBER CREEK Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

TIMBER CREEK - 3-0005808 & TIMBER CREEK is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 18 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of US federal pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which govern the design, construction, and operation of gas infrastructure. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate it is involved in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Gas extraction facilities in this region typically range from small to medium scale, often serving local gathering systems that feed into larger transmission networks. Located in the rural landscape of southern Colorado, the facility operates in an area with moderate seismic and climate hazard exposure. Its proximity to populated areas is limited due to the remote setting. The facility contributes to the regional gas supply chain, supporting energy needs in the broader Colorado and Rocky Mountain region.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low-density population. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on local air quality from extraction activities and water usage in hydraulic fracturing. The area experiences moderate seismic activity and occasional wildfire risks, which are relevant to gas infrastructure integrity. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA ensures adherence to safety standards for pipeline and facility operations.
