Overview
XTO Energy - Remuda 100 TB is an operational oil extraction facility located 8 miles east of Loving in Eddy County, New Mexico, United States. It operates under NAICS code 211120, representing crude petroleum extraction.
XTO Energy - Remuda 100 TB is an oil extraction facility situated in the Permian Basin region of southeastern New Mexico, approximately 8 miles east of Loving in Eddy County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120, which covers the extraction of crude petroleum. As part of XTO Energy, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, this facility contributes to the extensive oil production activities in one of the most prolific hydrocarbon basins in the United States. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Mexico Environment Department. Oil extraction operations in this region are subject to federal regulations including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), as well as state-level rules for oil and gas production. The Permian Basin is known for its high-volume oil production, with many facilities employing advanced drilling and extraction technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to maximize recovery. Environmental considerations for this facility include potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions, as well as water usage and disposal associated with hydraulic fracturing. The facility's location in a semi-arid region with sensitive ecosystems underscores the importance of adherence to regulatory standards. XTO Energy's operations are part of a broader industry effort to reduce emissions and improve environmental performance through technology and best practices.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Permian Basin, a region with significant oil and gas activity that poses risks of air emissions (VOCs, methane) and water contamination from produced water and fracturing fluids. The semi-arid environment and proximity to the Pecos River watershed require careful management of water resources and spill prevention. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permits and monitoring.
