DJR Operating Wells_Test - Oil Extraction Facility in Aztec, New Mexico

DJR Operating Wells_Test is an oil extraction facility situated at 1 Road 3263 in Aztec, New Mexico, within San Juan County. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, classified under NAICS code 211120 for crude petroleum extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act, as well as state-level regulations from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. Typical oil extraction in this region involves conventional drilling and hydraulic fracturing, with wells producing from the San Juan Basin's formations. The San Juan Basin is a significant oil and gas province, and this facility plays a role in the local energy supply chain. The area's semi-arid climate and proximity to the Colorado River Basin necessitate careful water management and environmental monitoring to mitigate impacts on local ecosystems.

The facility is located in the semi-arid San Juan Basin, which is ecologically sensitive due to limited water resources and the presence of desert habitats. Oil extraction activities in this region can impact air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, and water resources through potential spills or groundwater contamination. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to minimize these risks.
