WARREN MAK Oil Extraction Facility, Rancho Cordova, California

WARREN MAK is an oil extraction facility located at 3282 Luyung Dr., Rancho Cordova, California, in Sacramento County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120, which covers crude petroleum extraction. This places it within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry, focused on the extraction of crude oil from underground reservoirs. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes oversight by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). For oil extraction, specific regulations such as the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) apply. California also has its own stringent environmental regulations, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and regulations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). As an oil extraction facility in California, WARREN MAK contributes to the state's domestic oil production, which is subject to declining trends but remains significant for local energy supply. The facility's location in Rancho Cordova, near the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, means it operates in an area with sensitive water resources, requiring careful management of produced water and potential spill risks.

The facility is situated in the Sacramento Valley, a region with a Mediterranean climate and significant agricultural activity. Oil extraction in this area involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from equipment and flaring, and surface spills. The proximity to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a critical water resource, heightens the need for robust spill prevention and response measures. Regulatory compliance with California's stringent environmental laws is essential to mitigate these risks.
