ANADARKO - LEIERER 1-28 WELL SITE - Oil Extraction Facility in Ulysses, Kansas

ANADARKO - LEIERER 1-28 WELL SITE is an oil extraction facility located in Ulysses, Grant County, Kansas, United States. The site is operational and part of the broader oil infrastructure in the region, which is characterized by conventional oil wells tapping into the Hugoton Embayment and other geological formations. Kansas has a long history of oil production, with many small to medium-scale wells contributing to the state's energy output. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC). Oil extraction in Kansas is subject to EPA's Clean Air Act regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations, and the KCC's rules on well construction, operation, and plugging. The site's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, typical for wells in this area. As a well site in the Great Plains, the facility's environmental context includes potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions, as well as water use and produced water management. The site's location in a rural agricultural area means that groundwater protection and land disturbance are key considerations. Overall, the facility plays a role in meeting domestic energy demand while operating within established environmental and safety regulations.

The facility is situated in the Great Plains region of Kansas, an area with a semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Oil extraction here involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions of VOCs and methane, and soil disturbance. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and KCC aims to mitigate these impacts through permitting, monitoring, and enforcement of best practices.
