Surface facilities refer to the various structures and equipment located on the Earth's surface that are necessary for the exploration, extraction, and initial processing of natural resources, most commonly oil, gas, and minerals. These facilities are crucial for bringing subsurface resources to the point where they can be transported for further refining or use.

The specific types of surface facilities vary greatly depending on the resource being extracted and the geological conditions. For oil and gas, this can include wellheads,Christmas trees, flow lines, separators, pumps, compressors, and storage tanks. For mining operations, surface facilities might involve mine entrances, headframes, hoists, crushers, conveyors, and processing plants for ore treatment.

These installations are designed to handle the flow of extracted materials, separate them from unwanted substances like water or gas, and prepare them for transportation. Safety and environmental protection are paramount considerations in the design and operation of all surface facilities, as they often involve hazardous materials and processes. They are the visible interface between the hidden resources beneath the ground and the infrastructure that supports modern society.
