XTO Energy, Inc. - AC 28-05 Gas Extraction Facility, Cokedale, Colorado

XTO Energy, Inc. - AC 28-05 is a gas extraction facility situated in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 16.3 miles west of Cokedale. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192, which governs pipeline safety and gas transmission. As a gas extraction site, it likely includes wellheads, separators, and gathering pipelines to process raw natural gas. The region's geology, part of the Raton Basin, supports coalbed methane and conventional gas production. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Las Animas County. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces certain community risks. The site is part of XTO Energy's portfolio, a major player in US natural gas production, and supports downstream infrastructure including processing plants and transmission pipelines.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of southeastern Colorado, characterized by grasslands and low population density. Proximity to populated areas is minimal, reducing community exposure risks. The area experiences moderate seismic activity and occasional drought conditions, which may influence operational practices. Regulatory oversight under PHMSA ensures adherence to safety and environmental standards for gas extraction.
