Sweet Tea 2H 3H 4H 5H CTB - Oil Extraction Facility in Loving, New Mexico

Sweet Tea 2H 3H 4H 5H CTB is an oil extraction facility situated in Eddy County, New Mexico, approximately 8.7 miles southeast of Loving. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120, which covers crude petroleum extraction. This location is within the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction in this region typically involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The facility's scale is consistent with the dense well spacing common in the Permian Basin, where multiple horizontal wells are drilled from a single pad to maximize resource recovery. As part of the Permian Basin's extensive oil infrastructure, Sweet Tea 2H 3H 4H 5H CTB contributes to the region's significant crude oil output. The facility's operations are subject to state and federal regulations governing air emissions, water management, and waste disposal. Its location in a semi-arid environment necessitates careful water sourcing and management practices.

The facility is located in the Permian Basin, a region with high oil extraction activity that poses risks of groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing fluids and produced water. Air emissions from drilling and production operations, including volatile organic compounds and methane, are a concern. The semi-arid climate and limited water resources require careful management of water use and disposal to protect local ecosystems.
