BCE MACH LLC Serenity 1 3H and McCracken 3 28 15 1H ST Oil Extraction Wells, Alva, Oklahoma

BCE MACH LLC operates the Serenity 1 3H and McCracken 3 28 15 1H ST oil extraction wells in Woods County, Oklahoma, approximately 11.6 miles northwest of Alva. These wells are part of the broader oil extraction infrastructure in the United States, a sector governed by federal and state regulations including EPA's Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as well as state-level oil and gas conservation laws. The facilities operate under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating they extract both crude oil and natural gas liquids. Typical wells in this region target formations such as the Mississippian Lime or Woodford Shale, using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques common in Oklahoma's oil fields. These wells are part of Oklahoma's significant oil production landscape, which ranks among the top oil-producing states in the U.S. The operational status suggests ongoing contribution to local energy supply and economic activity. Environmental oversight includes state-level well integrity requirements and federal spill prevention measures under the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule.

Oil extraction in Oklahoma involves risks such as groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing fluids and produced water, as well as surface spills. The region's semi-arid climate and agricultural land use heighten the importance of proper waste management and spill response. Regulatory frameworks like the EPA's Underground Injection Control program and Oklahoma Corporation Commission rules govern well construction and disposal to mitigate environmental impacts.
