SHEPHERD DALMATIAN PAD is an oil extraction facility situated in the Permian Basin region of southeastern New Mexico, near Livingston Wheeler in Eddy County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 211120, which covers the extraction of crude petroleum. As part of the United States' oil infrastructure, it contributes to the country's domestic energy production. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable state-level regulations from the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction in this region typically involves drilling and well operations, with production transported via pipelines to refineries or storage facilities. The Permian Basin is one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the United States, known for its extensive horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities. Environmental considerations for oil extraction facilities in New Mexico include water usage, potential groundwater contamination, and air emissions from equipment and flaring. The region's arid climate and sensitive ecosystems require careful management of produced water and drilling fluids. SHEPHERD DALMATIAN PAD's operational status indicates ongoing production, contributing to the local economy and energy supply.

Located in the Permian Basin, SHEPHERD DALMATIAN PAD operates in an arid region with sensitive desert ecosystems. Oil extraction activities pose risks of groundwater contamination from produced water and chemical spills, as well as air emissions from volatile organic compounds and methane. The facility's proximity to the Pecos River watershed requires adherence to spill prevention and response protocols under EPA regulations.
