Chesapeake Operating LLC / Boyd 1 32H Station - Oil Extraction Facility in Arnett, Oklahoma

Chesapeake Operating LLC / Boyd 1 32H Station is an oil extraction facility located in Arnett, Ellis County, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is operational and engages in the extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, as indicated by its NAICS codes 211111 and 211120. It is situated in a rural area of northwestern Oklahoma, a region with a long history of oil and gas production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Key regulations include the Clean Air Act (CAA) for emissions from oil and gas operations, the Clean Water Act (CWA) for stormwater and produced water management, and state-level rules for well construction and operation. The facility's scale is typical of a small to medium oil extraction site in the region, with multiple wells likely tied to a central station. As part of the broader oil and gas industry in Oklahoma, this facility contributes to the state's significant crude oil production. The environmental context includes potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, as well as water management challenges related to produced water. The facility's location in a sparsely populated area reduces some community exposure risks, but groundwater protection remains a key concern.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities can impact air quality through emissions of VOCs and methane. Water resources are a concern due to the potential for groundwater contamination from produced water and hydraulic fracturing fluids. The area's agricultural land use and limited water availability heighten the importance of proper waste management and spill prevention.
