Eucutta EOR Facility - Oil Extraction in Shubuta, Mississippi

Eucutta EOR Facility is an oil extraction plant located at 31 Hess Camp Drive in Shubuta, Wayne County, Mississippi, United States. The facility is operational and specializes in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods to maximize crude oil production from existing reservoirs. As part of the U.S. oil extraction sector, it contributes to domestic energy supply. The facility operates under NAICS code 211120, which covers crude petroleum extraction. In the United States, oil extraction facilities are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act, as well as state-level environmental agencies in Mississippi. EOR operations often involve injecting steam, chemicals, or carbon dioxide to increase oil recovery, requiring permits for emissions and water use. The Eucutta EOR Facility plays a role in extending the productive life of oil fields in the region. Enhanced oil recovery techniques can significantly increase the amount of oil extracted from a reservoir, reducing the need for new drilling. The facility's location in Mississippi places it within the Gulf Coast region, a major hub for U.S. oil production and refining.

Oil extraction facilities like Eucutta EOR Facility can impact local air quality through emissions from engines and flaring, and water resources through produced water management. In Mississippi, the facility is subject to EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Enhanced oil recovery may involve injection of fluids, which requires careful monitoring to protect groundwater. The surrounding area in Wayne County is rural, with forests and agricultural land, making spill prevention and waste management critical.
