LOEB OIL CO Oil Extraction Facility, Lawrenceville, Illinois

LOEB OIL CO is an oil extraction facility located at 600 Country Club Rd, Lawrenceville, Illinois, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production within the Illinois Basin, a mature petroleum province known for its conventional oil reservoirs. The facility operates under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating a focus on both oil and associated gas liquids. In the United States, oil extraction facilities are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act (including Refinery MACT standards for downstream operations) and by state-level agencies such as the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for drilling and production permits. Offshore and coastal facilities also fall under BSEE jurisdiction, though this inland facility is subject to state and federal environmental regulations. As an oil extraction site in Illinois, LOEB OIL CO plays a role in the state's energy supply chain, supporting local refining and distribution networks. The facility's location in Lawrence County places it within a region with a history of oil production, contributing to the economic activity and energy infrastructure of the area.

The facility is situated in Lawrenceville, Illinois, an inland area with no direct coastal spill risk. However, oil extraction activities can impact local groundwater and surface water through produced water management and potential leaks. The Illinois Basin's mature fields often involve enhanced oil recovery techniques that may increase chemical usage. Regulatory oversight from the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring requirements.
