El Dorado, AR Mobile Drug & Alcohol Testing
Murphy Oil refinery and petroleum employers · PHMSA pipeline operators in Union County · US-82 South Arkansas freight corridor · Energy contractor and industrial workforce · Same-day dispatch available
El Dorado sits in Union County in the Smackover oil field region of southern Arkansas - the heart of the original Arkansas oil boom that began in the 1920s. Murphy Oil Corporation's South Arkansas refinery and related operations remain a major employer in the area, along with pipeline operations, oilfield services, and petrochemical employers scattered through Union County. US-82 is the primary freight corridor through El Dorado, routing petroleum products, industrial supplies, and agricultural freight east to the Mississippi River corridor and west toward Texarkana and Texas. Producing oil and gas wells remain active in Union and surrounding counties, with gathering pipelines and processing operations maintaining PHMSA-regulated employer exposure. Medical Center of South Arkansas anchors healthcare employer demand. El Dorado's remote location in the southern Arkansas timber and oil belt makes mobile on-site testing the only practical compliance option for most area employers. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches mobile collectors to El Dorado refinery contractor sites, pipeline staging areas, fleet yards, and employer facilities throughout Union County when routing and collector availability allow.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your El Dorado-area facility, yard, terminal, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve across the region.

Applicable Regulations - El Dorado, AR
El Dorado's energy employer base is primarily regulated under PHMSA. Pipeline operators carrying crude oil, refined products, and natural gas in Union County follow 49 CFR Part 199, which requires drug and alcohol testing for covered employees in operations, maintenance, and emergency response. Refinery operators and their contractors may have additional requirements tied to OSHA Process Safety Management (29 CFR 1910.119) and Murphy Oil's contractor qualification program. Motor carriers on US-82 and US-167 follow 49 CFR Part 382 (FMCSA) and 49 CFR Part 40. Arkansas medical marijuana (Amendment 98, A.C.A. Section 20-56-408) does not require employers to accommodate cannabis use - PHMSA and DOT testing are unaffected. Program design remains the employer's responsibility.
