Holly Energy Partners Maljamar Park Station - Oil Pipeline Facility in Maljamar, New Mexico

Holly Energy Partners Maljamar Park Station is an operational oil pipeline facility located in Maljamar, Lea County, New Mexico. The facility is situated north of Maljamar on Lea County Road 124 and plays a role in the transportation of crude oil within the Permian Basin region, one of the most prolific oil-producing areas in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 195, which governs hazardous liquid pipelines. As part of a larger pipeline network, it contributes to the efficient movement of crude oil from production areas to refineries and distribution hubs. The NAICS code 486110 indicates its classification as a crude petroleum pipeline transportation operation. Environmental and operational significance includes its role in supporting domestic energy supply and the local economy in southeastern New Mexico. The facility's location in a semi-arid region with sparse population reduces certain community risks, but proximity to sensitive ecosystems and groundwater resources requires adherence to strict spill prevention and cathodic protection standards to ensure safe operations.

The facility is located in the arid Permian Basin region of southeastern New Mexico, characterized by low population density and sensitive desert ecosystems. The primary environmental considerations for oil pipelines in this area include potential impacts on groundwater resources, soil contamination from leaks, and disruption to wildlife habitats. Regulatory requirements under PHMSA mandate rigorous corrosion control, leak detection, and emergency response planning to mitigate these risks.
