EOG - BOLIVAR BRD FEDERAL COM NO1H Oil Extraction Facility, Malaga, New Mexico

EOG - BOLIVAR BRD FEDERAL COM NO1H is an oil extraction facility situated approximately 8 miles southwest of Malaga, in Eddy County, New Mexico. The facility is part of the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil and gas regions in the United States, and is operated by EOG Resources, a leading independent exploration and production company. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. Oil extraction in this region typically involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as oil and gas extraction support activities. The Permian Basin has significant environmental considerations, including water usage for hydraulic fracturing, potential groundwater contamination, and air emissions from drilling and production activities. The facility's location in a semi-arid region also raises concerns about water scarcity and the management of produced water. EOG Resources has implemented measures to reduce flaring and improve water recycling in its operations.

The facility is located in the Permian Basin, a region with high oil and gas activity, leading to potential environmental impacts such as groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing, air emissions from flaring and equipment, and land disturbance. The semi-arid climate exacerbates water scarcity issues, making water management a critical concern. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permits and best practices.
