EOG Resources-Trucker BRK State No 1H - Oil Extraction Facility near Jal, New Mexico

EOG Resources-Trucker BRK State No 1H is an oil extraction facility located approximately 23 miles northwest of Jal, in Lea County, New Mexico, United States. The facility is operational and is part of the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the country. As an oil extraction site, it focuses on the upstream phase of the oil and gas industry, extracting crude oil from subsurface reservoirs. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for water discharges. Additionally, state-level regulations from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division (NM OCD) govern drilling and production practices. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction, suggesting a focus on both oil and associated gas production. Located in the arid landscape of southeastern New Mexico, the facility's operations are subject to environmental considerations such as water usage for hydraulic fracturing and potential impacts on local air quality. The Permian Basin's extensive infrastructure supports the transport of crude oil to refineries, making this facility a component of the broader US energy supply chain. Its operational status contributes to the region's economic activity and energy output.

The facility is situated in the Permian Basin, a region known for its high-density oil extraction activities. Local environmental concerns include groundwater depletion from hydraulic fracturing, air emissions from flaring and equipment, and potential soil contamination from spills. The arid climate and sensitive ecosystems require careful management of water resources and waste disposal to minimize ecological impact.
