PEOCO, LLC (Rancho Capay 1-1) is an oil extraction facility situated north of Lindsay, between 3rd and 4th streets, near Orland, California. The facility is located in Glenn County and operates within the United States' oil extraction sector, classified under NAICS code 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction). As an operational oil extraction site, it contributes to the region's hydrocarbon production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California's stringent environmental regulations. Oil extraction in California is subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and state-level rules governing air emissions, water discharge, and well integrity. The facility's scale is typical for a small to medium-sized extraction operation in the Sacramento Valley, a region with a long history of oil and gas development. Environmental considerations for this facility include potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions, as well as groundwater protection. The site's proximity to agricultural areas in Glenn County underscores the importance of managing surface and subsurface impacts. The facility's role in the local energy supply chain supports regional oil production, which is refined and distributed to meet California's energy demands.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Sacramento Valley, a region with a mix of agricultural and oil extraction activities. Oil extraction operations in this area can affect local air quality through emissions of VOCs and methane, and may pose risks to groundwater from well operations and produced water management. The proximity to agricultural land requires careful management of surface spills and soil contamination to protect farming activities.
