Overview
TIMBER CREEK - HR 10-05V is a gas extraction facility located near Cokedale, Colorado, USA. It operates under US PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192.
TIMBER CREEK - HR 10-05V is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.7 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in the upstream gas sector. The facility operates within the United States regulatory framework, which includes PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. In Colorado, gas extraction is also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The facility's scale is typical for a gas extraction site in the region, focusing on natural gas production from local reservoirs. Environmental considerations for this facility include its location in a semi-arid region with potential for seismic activity and proximity to populated areas. The facility's operational status suggests ongoing gas production, contributing to the regional energy supply. Its grid role involves feeding natural gas into local gathering systems for processing and distribution.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, gas extraction operations can involve risks such as methane leakage and water usage. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, which may impact well integrity. Regulatory oversight by the COGCC and federal agencies aims to mitigate these environmental risks.
