HILCORP - MCADAMS C2E Production Location, Bloomfield, New Mexico | Oil Extraction Facility

HILCORP - MCADAMS C2E PRODUCTION LOCATION is an oil extraction facility situated in San Juan County, New Mexico, approximately 6.5 miles southeast of Bloomfield. The facility is part of the San Juan Basin, one of the most prolific oil and gas regions in the United States, and is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). As an operational oil extraction site, it contributes to the domestic energy supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction activities in this region are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), including requirements for air emissions controls and produced water management. The San Juan Basin is known for its conventional and unconventional oil and gas production, utilizing technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The environmental context of the San Juan Basin includes arid landscapes and sensitive ecosystems. Oil extraction operations must manage water usage, air quality impacts, and potential groundwater contamination. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density reduces some community exposure risks, but the cumulative impacts of multiple extraction sites in the basin require ongoing monitoring and regulatory compliance.

The San Juan Basin is a semi-arid region with fragile desert ecosystems. Oil extraction activities can affect air quality through volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and methane leaks, and water resources through produced water disposal and potential spills. The facility's proximity to the San Juan River watershed necessitates careful management to protect water quality. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these environmental impacts.
