DJR - ESCRITO P16-2409 Oil Extraction Facility, Bloomfield, New Mexico

DJR - ESCRITO P16-2409 is an oil extraction facility located in San Juan County, New Mexico, approximately 35.7 miles southeast of Bloomfield. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, which is part of the larger San Juan Basin, one of the most prolific oil and gas basins in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction activities in this region are subject to federal and state regulations, including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, which govern emissions and water management. The facility's NAICS codes (211111, 211120, 999999) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as support activities. As part of the San Juan Basin's oil infrastructure, DJR - ESCRITO P16-2409 plays a role in meeting domestic energy demand. The region's oil extraction contributes to local employment and economic activity, while also requiring careful environmental management to mitigate impacts on air quality and water resources in the arid New Mexico landscape.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid climate of northwestern New Mexico, where water resources are limited and sensitive to contamination. Oil extraction in this region poses risks of groundwater contamination from spills or leaks of produced water and hydrocarbons. Air emissions from drilling and production activities, including volatile organic compounds and methane, are a concern for local air quality. The facility's proximity to the San Juan River watershed adds potential risks to surface water quality.
