BCE MACH LLC / MCGEE 1 8 STA is an operational oil extraction facility located near Alva, Oklahoma, in the United States. The facility is situated in Alfalfa County, approximately 2 miles west and 1.5 miles north of Highway 11/8. It is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), reflecting its role in the upstream oil and gas sector. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves conventional drilling and production methods, with wells tapping into the Anadarko Basin formations. The scale of operations is consistent with small to medium-sized extraction sites common in Oklahoma's mature oil fields. As part of the U.S. oil infrastructure, this facility contributes to domestic crude oil and natural gas liquids production. Its location in a rural area with low population density reduces immediate community exposure, but standard environmental controls for emissions, brine management, and spill prevention are required under state and federal regulations.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities can impact local groundwater and soil quality. The Anadarko Basin's geology requires careful management of produced water and drilling fluids to prevent contamination. Spill risks are mitigated by EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and state-level well integrity requirements.
