The facility's location in a rural area near Alva suggests a moderate scale of operation typical of the region.

Oil extraction in Oklahoma, including the Anadarko Basin, involves risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from volatile organic compounds, and land disturbance. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and OCC requires permits for injection wells and emissions controls. The facility's rural setting may reduce population exposure but still necessitates careful management of waste and spill prevention.
