ANGUS FED 7-14 CHAROLAIS S. FED 2 SIM FED 5-13 CTB - Oil Extraction Facility in Watford City, North Dakota

ANGUS FED 7-14 CHAROLAIS S. FED 2 SIM FED 5-13 CTB is an oil extraction facility located at 2114 24th Ave SW, Watford City, McKenzie County, North Dakota. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction). It is situated in the Bakken formation, one of the largest oil-producing regions in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). State-level oversight is provided by the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality. Typical oil extraction in this region involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. As part of the Bakken oil boom, this facility contributes to the region's significant crude oil output. The Bakken formation has transformed North Dakota into a major oil-producing state, with extensive pipeline and rail infrastructure for transport. The facility's operations support local employment and energy supply, while also requiring careful environmental management to mitigate impacts on air quality and water resources.

The facility is located in the Bakken shale region, which has experienced rapid oil development. Key environmental considerations include air emissions from flaring and drilling operations, water usage for hydraulic fracturing, and potential groundwater contamination. The area's semi-arid climate and sensitive ecosystems require adherence to EPA and state regulations to minimize ecological disruption.
