HARVARD - APACHE 25 FEDERAL NO 6 BATTERY Oil Extraction Facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico

HARVARD - APACHE 25 FEDERAL NO 6 BATTERY is an oil extraction facility located in Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, within the United States. The facility is situated in the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the country, and operates under the NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). As an operational battery site, it plays a role in gathering and processing crude oil from nearby wells. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction in the Permian Basin is subject to federal regulations including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, as well as state-level rules for drilling and production. Typical operations involve separation of oil, gas, and water, with produced water often managed through injection wells. The facility's location in Eddy County places it within a region with significant oil and gas infrastructure. The Permian Basin's high production levels contribute to the U.S. energy supply, but also pose environmental challenges such as water usage and air emissions. The facility's role in the local oil extraction network supports regional economic activity and energy development.

The facility is located in the arid Permian Basin region of southeastern New Mexico, where oil extraction activities can impact local water resources and air quality. Produced water management and methane emissions are key environmental concerns. The area's semi-arid climate and sensitive ecosystems require careful adherence to state and federal regulations to minimize ecological disruption.
