HILCORP - STATE GAS COM A 1N AND 100S Oil Extraction Facility, Aztec, New Mexico

HILCORP - STATE GAS COM A 1N AND 100S is an oil extraction facility situated 1.2 miles northwest of Aztec, New Mexico, in the United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil and gas production, which is part of the broader San Juan Basin. This basin is known for its significant hydrocarbon reserves and has been a key area for energy development in the southwestern United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. Oil extraction in this region typically involves conventional drilling and production techniques, with a focus on maximizing recovery from the basin's geological formations. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. As part of the San Juan Basin's oil infrastructure, this facility plays a role in supplying crude oil and natural gas to downstream markets. The region's production supports local economies and contributes to national energy security. Environmental considerations include managing produced water and minimizing surface disturbances, with regulatory oversight ensuring compliance with state and federal standards.

The facility is located in the semi-arid climate of northwestern New Mexico, where water resources are limited. Oil extraction operations in this region must manage produced water and potential groundwater impacts. The San Juan Basin is also home to diverse ecosystems, including desert shrublands and habitats for species such as the greater sage-grouse. Regulatory frameworks like the EPA's Clean Air Act and the New Mexico Oil and Gas Act govern emissions and waste management to mitigate environmental risks.
