MARTIN GAS COM 1 PRODUCTION LOCATION

Martin Gas Com 1 Production Location is a single-facility crude petroleum and natural gas extraction site (NAICS 211111) operating in the San Juan Basin around Bloomfield, New Mexico. EPA ECHO data current through May 4, 2026 attributes zero quarterly noncompliance findings to the facility over the trailing 24 months but records a derived penalty total of $3.76 million, calculated as the 24-month pro rata of five-year enforcement recoveries associated with EPA Facility Registry ID 110055587404 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No active Title V or NPDES permits appear in the ECHO extract. No EJScreen indices populate the record, producing an ej_index_avg of 0.0 that reflects missing demographic overlay rather than verified absence of exposure [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110012799980].

The operator is private, carries no SEC filer identifier, and produces no 10-K or 10-Q disclosures. Public-corporate data that would normally anchor a comparison between company-stated targets and regulator-measured outcomes is therefore absent. The only first-party statements traceable online are the brief marketing pages of affiliated Martin Gas entities [source: https://thegascompanies.com/]. Peer benchmarking inside NAICS 211xxx shows Martin Gas Com 1 carrying a materially lower derived 24-month penalty figure than Greka Bell Compressor Plant ($26.16 million) and Red Hills Gas Processing Plant ($19.13 million). Still, the zero-violation count sits alongside an unexplained multi-million-dollar penalty derivation — a pairing that warrants direct inspection of the underlying ECHO case file before any conclusions are drawn [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The ECHO exporter snapshot dated May 4, 2026 lists one facility under the Martin Gas Com 1 identifier, FRS 110055587404, with zero quarters of noncompliance logged during the trailing eight quarters and a five-year-derived penalty share of $3,760,000 apportioned to the 24-month window using the standard ECHO derivation formula penalty_24mo = total_5yr × (24/60) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No top-pollutant vector is populated. No Clean Air Act Title V status is flagged, and no NPDES major or minor designation is attached — an outcome consistent with an upstream production pad where emissions reporting flows through state Oil Conservation Division submissions rather than federal ECHO feeds [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110012799980].

The past 24 months contain no federally logged formal enforcement event tied to this specific FRS record. The derived penalty amount reflects a prior monetary resolution sitting inside the five-year lookback window. ECHO's exporter does not distinguish whether the underlying action was a consent decree, an administrative order, or a state-referred matter translated into the federal ICIS system [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That ambiguity matters. The broader New Mexico regulatory context during this window was active: the New Mexico Environment Department Air Quality Bureau concluded a Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Final Compliance Order with DCP Operating Company, LP covering San Juan and Permian-area gas processing operations, signed September 10, 2021, establishing the template under which San Juan Basin production and midstream operators have since been resolving excess-emissions allegations [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf]. A parallel 2023 NMED Hearing Officer Report on Targa Northern Delaware's Road Runner Gas Processing Plant, issued October 16, 2023, documents how the state has been tightening New Source Review permit revisions for processing facilities in Eddy County — a procedural posture that extends into upstream production-pad permitting obligations statewide [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/public-notices/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/10/2023-10-16-AQB-23-58-Targa-Road-Runner-Hearing-Officers-Report-20231016.pdf].

Against that state backdrop, the Martin Gas Com 1 FRS record shows no new formal action through Q1 2026. The facility carries no active permit row in the ECHO exporter, which typically indicates that applicable authorizations are held at the state level through NMED and the Oil Conservation Division rather than directly through EPA Region 6 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Historical oil and gas conservation enforcement in analogous basins — including Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Order No. 1-72 against Martin Exploration Management Company and Patina Oil & Gas Corporation, entered August 5, 1997 for water-well contamination in Adams County — represents separate corporate lineage but sits in the public record under a similar naming convention and is frequently conflated in investor screens [source: https://ecmc.state.co.us/orders/orders/1/72.html]. Analysts using the ECHO data should treat the $3.76 million derived figure as an accounting artifact of the five-year window rather than as evidence of recent adjudicated wrongdoing, at least until the underlying ICIS case row is pulled and examined directly.

Per-action detail for the trailing 24 months — defined as May 2024 through May 2026 — shows no discrete formal federal enforcement action attributed to FRS 110055587404 in the ECHO exporter snapshot as of May 4, 2026 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The violation_count_24mo field is zero. The quarters_with_nc count that drives it is also zero. The $3,760,000 penalty_total_24mo figure is a mechanical derivation: the exporter's documented formula multiplies the five-year total penalty amount by 24/60, meaning the underlying adjudicated amount inside the five-year window is approximately $9.4 million, of which $3.76 million is apportioned to the most recent two years [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The exporter does not disclose whether the originating action was brought under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, or Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, nor does it print the case docket number.

No CourtListener or PACER record surfaced in the research bundle naming Martin Gas Com 1 Production Location as a defendant in a federal environmental matter during this window. The closest adjacent proceedings in the San Juan and Permian Basins during 2021–2023 involve DCP Operating Company, LP (NMED AQB 20-46 and AQB 20-64, resolved September 10, 2021) and Targa Northern Delaware's Road Runner Gas Processing Plant permit modification hearing concluded October 16, 2023 — neither names Martin Gas Com 1 as a respondent [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf] [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/public-notices/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/10/2023-10-16-AQB-23-58-Targa-Road-Runner-Hearing-Officers-Report-20231016.pdf].

Two historical records surface when users search this operator name, and both require disambiguation. The first is a 1991 Kentucky Public Service Commission rate proceeding captioned Application of Martin Gas, Inc., Case No. 90-402 — a utility-rate matter, not an environmental enforcement action, involving a distinct corporate entity [source: https://psc.ky.gov/order_vault/orders_1991/199000402_02151991.pdf]. The second is the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's 1997 Order No. 1-72 concerning Martin Exploration Management Company and Patina Oil & Gas Corporation, relating to water-well contamination in Adams County — again, a separate legal entity despite the surface-level name similarity [source: https://ecmc.state.co.us/orders/orders/1/72.html]. Neither record attaches to ECHO FRS ID 110055587404 assigned to the Bloomfield, New Mexico production location.

Martin Gas Com 1 Production Location, Bloomfield, San Juan County, New Mexico (FRS 110055587404): the sole facility under this corporate banner carries zero logged quarters of noncompliance over the trailing 24 months and a derived penalty apportionment of $3.76 million. No active permits appear in the federal ECHO exporter. No EJScreen demographic indices are populated, producing a null EJ profile rather than a verified clean one [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The Facility Registry Service landing page format used for records of this type routes users to state-level permit authorities for the detailed authorization history [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110012799980].

Because the corporate group operates only one facility in the federal ECHO record, the remaining four slots in a conventional top-five ranking are not populated by additional Martin Gas Com assets. Peer context inside the same NAICS 211xxx cohort fills that gap. Greka Bell Compressor Plant — single facility, zero 24-month violations, $26.16 million derived penalty apportionment — represents the highest-dollar peer in the bundle [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Red Hills Gas Processing Plant, carrying two facilities and eight quarters of noncompliance at a $19.13 million derived penalty, is the highest-violation-count peer and a useful reference point for San Juan and Permian Basin midstream exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. HP Gas Pad rounds out the top tier: a single production pad, eight quarters of noncompliance, $16.13 million derived penalty — a figure that illustrates how a single upstream pad can carry a multi-year compliance tail comparable in dollar terms to much larger processing complexes [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. A fifth comparator is not provided in the research bundle; users seeking deeper peer granularity should pull the full NAICS 211111 slice of the ECHO exporter directly [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The ECHO top_pollutants array for FRS 110055587404 is empty. No TRI, NEI, or DMR pollutant vector has been associated with this facility in the May 4, 2026 exporter snapshot [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That absence is a data-coverage artifact, not a clean-air certification. For an NAICS 211111 production pad in the San Juan Basin, the expected emissions profile — drawn from EPA's own facility documentation framework rather than from this specific record — centers on three pollutant classes: volatile organic compounds including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene; methane as a climate-forcing co-emission; and nitrogen oxides from on-site combustion equipment and flaring [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110012799980].

VOC exposure pathways at upstream production sites run through fugitive emissions from wellhead equipment, tank venting, and loadout operations. Benzene is the principal carcinogen of concern. The NMED compliance order framework used in the September 10, 2021 DCP Operating settlement establishes leak detection and repair obligations that target precisely this emission category and provides the state's current enforcement posture for benzene-bearing streams [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf]. Methane, the second category, is regulated under both federal New Source Performance Standards and New Mexico's 2021 methane rulemaking record, the latter reflected in the Environmental Improvement Board proceedings from which the GCA Post-Hearing Submission of January 20, 2022 is drawn [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2022/01/2022-01-20-EIB-21].

NOx and combustion-related emissions constitute the third pollutant category. The Targa Road Runner Hearing Officer Report of October 16, 2023 details how NSR permit modifications are used to tighten engine-driven and flare-related NOx limits at gas-handling facilities; the procedural logic applies by analogy to production pads whose state permits are revised under the same Air Quality Bureau framework [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/public-notices/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/10/2023-10-16-AQB-23-58-Targa-Road-Runner-Hearing-Officers-Report-20231016.pdf]. EJ implications in the San Juan Basin track the population distribution across Bloomfield, Aztec, and the Navajo Nation checkerboard lands, where EPA EJScreen overlays typically return elevated percentile rankings for low-income and minority indicators. The specific ECHO record for Martin Gas Com 1 does not carry those numbers, however, so any statement about this facility's EJ exposure is constrained to noting the data gap rather than asserting a value [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Inside the NAICS 211xxx peer set pulled from the ECHO exporter, Martin Gas Com 1's derived 24-month penalty apportionment of $3.76 million sits roughly one order of magnitude below Greka Bell Compressor Plant ($26.16 million), Red Hills Gas Processing Plant ($19.13 million), and HP Gas Pad ($16.13 million). The zero 24-month violation count places it alongside Greka Bell as a low-tick peer, while Red Hills and HP Gas Pad each carry eight quarters of logged noncompliance [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No peer in the bundle has a populated EJ index, limiting cross-facility EJ comparison to a note that all four records share the same demographic-data gap [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_dtl.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110012799980].

Martin Gas Com 1 Production Location files no SEC Form 10-K and therefore publishes no Item 1A risk-factor disclosure; a direct quotation is not available. Analogous forward-looking regulatory exposure for a Bloomfield, New Mexico production operator is visible in two NMED documents. The September 10, 2021 DCP Operating Stipulated Final Compliance Order established the Air Quality Bureau's settlement template for San Juan Basin operators, centering on leak detection, flare performance, and engine NOx limits. The October 16, 2023 Hearing Officer Report on the Targa Road Runner NSR modification confirms that those same permit conditions are being tightened across upstream and midstream facilities over the current planning horizon [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-09-10-EPD-AQB-DCP-SASFCO-Final.pdf] [source: https://www.env.nm.gov/public-notices/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/10/2023-10-16-AQB-23-58-Targa-Road-Runner-Hearing-Officers-Report-20231016.pdf].
