Contango Resources-Amberjack Oil Extraction Facility, Camargo, Oklahoma

Contango Resources-Amberjack is an oil extraction facility located in Camargo, Dewey County, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is operational and engages in the extraction of crude petroleum, classified under NAICS code 211120. Its location in the Anadarko Basin places it within a historically significant oil-producing region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as well as state-level regulations from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Typical oil extraction in this region involves conventional vertical wells and hydraulic fracturing, with production often associated with the Mississippian Lime and Woodford Shale formations. The Amberjack facility contributes to the regional oil supply, supporting local energy markets and the broader U.S. petroleum infrastructure. Its operations are subject to environmental monitoring for air emissions, water usage, and waste management, aligning with industry standards for responsible extraction.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, where water availability is a key environmental concern for oil extraction operations. The area's geology and climate influence the potential for groundwater contamination and surface water impacts from produced water and drilling fluids. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring requirements.
