TIMBER CREEK - HR 33-13V/HR 33-13R Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

TIMBER CREEK - HR 33-13V/HR 33-13R is a gas extraction facility located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.8 miles southwest of Cokedale. The facility is operational and contributes to the natural gas supply chain in the United States. It is situated in the Raton Basin, a region known for coalbed methane and conventional gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves drilling and wellhead operations to produce natural gas. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate its role in upstream gas production. This facility plays a role in meeting regional energy demands and supporting local economic activity in Las Animas County. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain risks associated with proximity to populated areas. The operational status ensures continued contribution to the natural gas grid.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and scrublands. The area experiences moderate seismic activity, which is a consideration for gas extraction infrastructure. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure risks. The facility's operations are subject to environmental regulations including air quality permits and water management requirements typical of gas extraction sites in the United States.
