BCE MACH LLC / WILLIE JEAN 2 28 15 1H STA is an oil extraction facility located approximately 0.19 miles northeast of the intersection of E0060 and N2370 roads near Alva, Oklahoma. The facility is situated in Woods County and operates within the United States oil and gas extraction industry, classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). The facility is operational and engages in the extraction of crude oil and natural gas. In the United States, oil extraction facilities are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act, as well as state-level agencies such as the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and production, with associated infrastructure like wellheads, separators, and storage tanks. As part of the broader oil and gas sector in Oklahoma, this facility contributes to the state's significant hydrocarbon production. The region's geology, part of the Anadarko Basin, supports conventional and unconventional oil extraction. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection, air emissions from equipment, and management of produced water. The facility's proximity to rural roads suggests a relatively low population density area, reducing some community exposure risks.

The facility is located in a rural area of Woods County, Oklahoma, within the Anadarko Basin, a region with extensive oil and gas activity. The local environment includes agricultural land and prairie ecosystems. Oil extraction operations can impact air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, and water resources through potential spills or improper disposal of produced water. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring requirements.
