STALEY STATE CTB Oil Extraction Facility, Artesia, New Mexico | United States Oil Infrastructure

STALEY STATE CTB is an oil extraction facility located in Eddy County, near Artesia, New Mexico, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, which is part of the broader Permian Basin, a major oil-producing area. The facility's NAICS code 211120 indicates it is involved in crude petroleum extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). Oil extraction in New Mexico is subject to state regulations from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division (NM OCD) and federal oversight from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for operations on federal lands. Typical extraction methods in the region include hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which are common in the Permian Basin. The environmental context of the facility includes potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. The Permian Basin is known for its high levels of methane emissions and water usage for hydraulic fracturing. The facility's location in a semi-arid region also raises concerns about water scarcity and the management of produced water. Despite these challenges, the facility plays a role in meeting domestic energy demand and supporting the local economy.

The STALEY STATE CTB facility operates in the Permian Basin, a region with significant oil extraction activity. Environmental concerns include air emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, as well as water usage and disposal of produced water. The semi-arid climate of New Mexico exacerbates water scarcity issues. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through emission controls and water management practices.
