NO1/AQUAMARINE NO2 Oil Extraction Facility, Maljamar, New Mexico

NO1/AQUAMARINE NO2 is an oil extraction facility situated in Maljamar, New Mexico, within the prolific Permian Basin. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's significant oil output, which is central to U.S. energy production. Its location in Lea County places it in one of the most active oil-producing areas in the country. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including EPA standards for oil and gas extraction such as the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and the Clean Air Act. Typical extraction methods in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, though specific techniques at this site are not detailed. The Permian Basin is known for its high production capacity, with many facilities processing thousands of barrels per day. As part of the Permian Basin's infrastructure, NO1/AQUAMARINE NO2 supports domestic energy supply and local economic activity. The facility's operations are subject to environmental regulations aimed at minimizing impacts on air quality and water resources, given the arid climate and sensitive ecosystems of southeastern New Mexico.

The facility is located in the arid Permian Basin, where water scarcity and groundwater protection are critical environmental concerns. Oil extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, regulated under EPA guidelines. The region's sensitive desert ecosystems require careful management of produced water and drilling fluids to prevent soil and water contamination.
