STRAWBERRY FED 1 CTB Oil Extraction Facility, Loco Hills, New Mexico

STRAWBERRY FED 1 CTB is an oil extraction facility located approximately 10 miles southeast of Loco Hills, New Mexico, in Eddy County. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, which is part of the larger Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing areas in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. Oil extraction in this region typically involves drilling and well operations, with associated infrastructure for gathering and processing crude oil. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction and natural gas extraction, respectively. As part of the Permian Basin, STRAWBERRY FED 1 CTB plays a role in the domestic energy supply. The region's oil extraction activities are subject to environmental regulations aimed at minimizing impacts on air quality, water resources, and land use. The facility's location in a semi-arid area with sparse population reduces some local risks, but oil extraction inherently involves potential for spills and emissions.

The facility is situated in the Permian Basin, a region with extensive oil extraction infrastructure. Local environmental considerations include groundwater protection in the arid climate, management of produced water, and control of volatile organic compound emissions. The area's low population density reduces exposure risks, but the cumulative impact of numerous extraction sites requires robust regulatory oversight under the EPA's Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act.
