ARKLATX OPERATING/ARNOLD D4 Gas Extraction Facility, Norphlet, Arkansas

ARKLATX OPERATING/ARNOLD D4 is a gas extraction facility situated approximately 5 miles north of Norphlet in Ouachita County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's natural gas production, which is part of the broader Ark-La-Tex energy basin. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation's 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. As a gas extraction site, it likely involves wellhead operations and initial processing before gas enters transmission pipelines. The NAICS code 211111 indicates crude petroleum and natural gas extraction. Environmental considerations for this facility include proximity to populated areas and potential impacts on local air and water quality. The facility's location in a rural area may reduce some risks, but standard operational practices for gas extraction, such as well integrity and emissions control, are relevant to its environmental footprint.

The facility is located in a rural area of Ouachita County, Arkansas, which may reduce direct exposure to dense populations. However, gas extraction operations can impact local air quality through emissions and water resources through potential contamination. The region's geology and climate, including seismic stability, are typical for the Gulf Coast basin, where extraction activities are common.
