EOG - Undaunted BSD State Com No 1H Oil Extraction Facility, Jal, New Mexico

EOG - Undaunted BSD State Com No 1H is an oil extraction facility situated in Lea County, New Mexico, approximately 25.8 miles west of Jal. The facility is part of the Permian Basin, a major oil-producing region that accounts for a significant portion of U.S. crude oil output. As an operational oil extraction site, it contributes to the domestic energy supply and supports local economic activity. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including those from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. Typical oil extraction operations in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access oil from tight rock formations. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's focus on crude oil and associated natural gas liquids. Environmental considerations for oil extraction in the Permian Basin include water management, air emissions from flaring and equipment, and potential impacts on local ecosystems. The facility's location in a semi-arid region with sparse population reduces some risks, but groundwater protection and methane leakage remain important regulatory focuses. The facility's role in the broader oil supply chain underscores its significance to regional energy infrastructure.

The facility is located in the Permian Basin, a semi-arid region with low population density. Oil extraction here involves hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which require significant water resources and can impact groundwater quality. Air emissions from flaring and equipment contribute to local air quality concerns, while the risk of spills and leaks poses threats to soil and water. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permitting and monitoring requirements.
