BANG 3 GALE 1,5-14 RODNEY 1,5-14 CTB Oil Extraction Facility, Killdeer, North Dakota

BANG 3 GALE 1,5-14 RODNEY 1,5-14 CTB is an oil extraction facility situated in Killdeer, Dunn County, North Dakota. The facility is part of the extensive oil infrastructure in the Williston Basin, which underlies the Bakken shale formation. This region has been a significant contributor to U.S. crude oil production since the early 2000s. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including the EPA's Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as well as North Dakota's oil and gas conservation laws. Oil extraction in this area typically involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The facility's NAICS code 211120 indicates it is engaged in crude petroleum extraction. As an operational oil extraction site, the facility contributes to the local economy and energy supply. Its location in a semi-arid region with sensitive prairie ecosystems requires careful management of water resources and waste disposal. The facility's role in the Bakken play underscores its importance in domestic oil production.

The facility is located in the Williston Basin, a region characterized by semi-arid grasslands and prairie pothole wetlands. Oil extraction activities can impact local water resources through water withdrawals for hydraulic fracturing and potential contamination from spills. Air emissions from flaring and equipment contribute to regional air quality concerns. The area also supports wildlife such as pronghorn and migratory birds, necessitating mitigation measures.
