OXY USA INC. - ANTELOPE RIDGE COMPRESSOR STATION, Jal, New Mexico | Oil Extraction Facility

OXY USA INC. - ANTELOPE RIDGE COMPRESSOR STATION is an operational oil extraction facility situated in Jal, Lea County, New Mexico. The facility supports natural gas compression for oil extraction activities in the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil regions in the United States. As an oil extraction facility, it operates under the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations and the Clean Air Act. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, typical for compressor stations that gather and process hydrocarbons. The facility's location in the Permian Basin places it within a region of high oil and gas activity. Compressor stations like this one play a critical role in maintaining pipeline pressure and enabling efficient transport of natural gas to processing plants and markets, supporting downstream energy supply.

The facility is situated in the arid Permian Basin region of southeastern New Mexico, an area characterized by low rainfall and sensitive desert ecosystems. Oil extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane. The facility must comply with EPA's methane emission standards and state-level regulations from the New Mexico Environment Department to minimize environmental footprint.
