J.P. Oil Alabama LLC - Citronelle Field: Oil Extraction Facility in Citronelle, Alabama

J.P. Oil Alabama LLC - Citronelle Field is an operational oil extraction facility located at 8055 Joy Street in Citronelle, Mobile County, Alabama. The facility is part of the United States' oil extraction sector, which is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) for offshore operations, though this onshore facility primarily falls under state and federal EPA jurisdiction. The facility operates under NAICS codes 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction), 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction), and 213112 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations). In the context of the U.S. Gulf Coast region, oil extraction facilities like Citronelle Field typically employ conventional drilling and production techniques, with a focus on maintaining operational efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations such as the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). As an operational oil extraction site, the facility plays a role in the local energy supply chain, contributing to crude oil production in Alabama. The environmental context includes potential risks associated with hydrocarbon extraction, such as groundwater protection and air emissions management, which are addressed through regulatory frameworks like the EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and state-level permitting.

The Citronelle Field operates in a region with a mix of rural and industrial land use. Oil extraction activities can impact local air quality through volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and potential groundwater contamination from produced water. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's CAA and CWA, along with Alabama state regulations, aims to mitigate these risks through emission controls, spill prevention plans, and monitoring requirements.
