J-LU LTD.CO./MILLER LND-LUM#1 Gas Extraction Facility, Doddridge, Arkansas

J-LU LTD.CO./MILLER LND-LUM#1 is a gas extraction facility situated in Miller County, Arkansas, approximately 3.25 miles north of Doddridge. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS code 211111, which covers crude petroleum and natural gas extraction. This location is part of the broader Arkoma Basin, a region known for natural gas production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, where gas extraction is governed by federal and state agencies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment oversee environmental compliance, while the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulates downstream gas transportation. Typical gas extraction operations in this region involve drilling and well completion, with production rates varying based on reservoir characteristics. As a gas extraction site, this facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Miller County. Its proximity to Doddridge and the surrounding rural area means it operates in a sparsely populated region, reducing potential community impacts. The facility's role in the natural gas supply chain supports downstream power generation and industrial use.

The facility is located in a rural area of southwestern Arkansas, near the border with Texas and Louisiana. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters, which can influence operational practices. Proximity to populated areas is low, reducing exposure to population-related risks. However, the area is subject to occasional seismic activity and severe weather events such as tornadoes, which are relevant risk factors for gas extraction infrastructure.
