Brookhaven EOR Facility - Oil Extraction Plant in Brookhaven, Mississippi

Brookhaven EOR Facility is an oil extraction plant located at 1030 California Road in Brookhaven, Mississippi, within Lincoln County. The facility is operational and focuses on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods to maximize crude oil production from existing wells. As part of the United States' oil infrastructure, it contributes to domestic energy supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and relevant MACT standards for oil and gas extraction. The NAICS code 211120 indicates it is classified under crude petroleum extraction. Enhanced oil recovery techniques often involve injecting water, steam, or chemicals into reservoirs to increase pressure and mobilize oil, which requires careful management of environmental impacts. Located in the southeastern United States, the facility is situated in a region with a history of oil and gas activity. The surrounding area includes mixed industrial and agricultural land use. The facility's operational status and location in Mississippi place it within a state with moderate oil production, contributing to local employment and energy infrastructure.

The facility is located in a landlocked area of Mississippi, reducing the risk of coastal spill impacts. However, EOR operations can involve injection of fluids, which may pose risks to groundwater if not properly managed. The facility must comply with EPA underground injection control (UIC) regulations and state-level environmental permits to protect local water resources.
