BCE-MACH LLC - JONES 6-35-8 1H/DUKE 18-35-8 1H STATION (AIR) is an oil extraction facility located in Kansas, United States. The facility is situated in Barber County, near the city of Jones 6-35-8/Duke 18-35-8 1H Pad, and operates within the broader context of the U.S. oil and gas industry. The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating its role in both crude oil and natural gas liquids production. As an oil extraction site, it employs typical technologies such as drilling and wellhead equipment to access subsurface reservoirs. The operational status is active, contributing to the domestic energy supply. Kansas has a long history of oil and gas production, with regulatory oversight from state agencies like the Kansas Corporation Commission. The facility's environmental significance includes potential impacts on local air quality and groundwater, managed through permits and compliance with state and federal regulations. Its location in a rural area underscores the balance between energy development and environmental stewardship.

The facility operates in a region with mixed agricultural and energy land use. Oil extraction activities can affect local air quality through emissions from engines and flaring, and groundwater through potential spills or leaks. Regulatory frameworks such as the Clean Air Act and state-level oil and gas rules govern these impacts. The site's location away from major water bodies reduces spill risk to surface waters, but groundwater protection remains a priority.
