ARMSTRONG - BERRY 1-1 Oil Extraction Facility, Lovington, New Mexico

ARMSTRONG - BERRY 1-1 is an oil extraction facility situated in Lea County, New Mexico, approximately 10 miles southeast of Lovington. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production within the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil fields in the United States. Its NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) classify it under crude petroleum and natural gas extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for waste management. State-level regulations from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division also apply. Typical oil extraction in this region involves vertical or horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. As part of the Permian Basin's extensive infrastructure, ARMSTRONG - BERRY 1-1 supports domestic energy production and local economic activity. The facility's operations are integrated with gathering pipelines and processing plants that handle crude oil and natural gas, contributing to the supply chain for refineries and end-users.

The facility is located in the arid high plains of southeastern New Mexico, an area characterized by low precipitation and sensitive groundwater resources. Oil extraction activities pose risks of groundwater contamination from spills or improper waste disposal. The region also faces air quality concerns due to volatile organic compound emissions from production operations. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permitting and monitoring requirements.
