Oil extraction in Oklahoma involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from equipment and flaring, and land disturbance from well pads and access roads. The region's semi-arid climate and agricultural land use require careful management of water resources and soil protection. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permitting and monitoring requirements.
