TRINITY ENERGY CORP - SEE 001/1412 is a gas extraction facility situated in Arapahoe County, Colorado, about 8.6 miles north of Deer Trail. 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 upstream gas production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, specifically under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs the safe transportation of natural gas. In Colorado, gas extraction activities are also subject to state-level regulations from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), ensuring environmental protection and operational safety. As a gas extraction site in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, this facility contributes to the regional natural gas supply. Its location in a sparsely populated area of Arapahoe County reduces proximity-related risks, while the operational status indicates active contribution to local energy infrastructure. The facility's scale is typical for the region, supporting downstream processing and distribution networks.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of eastern Colorado, characterized by grassland ecosystems and agricultural land use. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing potential exposure to gas extraction operations. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though risks are moderate. Climate hazards include drought and wildfire, which can impact infrastructure integrity. Regulatory oversight from COGCC and PHMSA addresses environmental monitoring and safety protocols.
