DENNIS FLINT CHIPS CTB - Oil Extraction Facility in Killdeer, North Dakota

DENNIS FLINT CHIPS CTB is an oil extraction facility located at 1459 Bishop Avenue in Killdeer, Dunn County, North Dakota. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120 for crude petroleum extraction. It is situated in the Bakken shale formation, a major oil-producing region in the United States. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Dakota Industrial Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The facility's scale is consistent with small to medium-sized extraction sites common in the Bakken, contributing to the state's significant crude oil output. As part of the Bakken oil play, this facility supports local energy production and economic activity in Dunn County. The region has seen substantial oil development since the 2000s, with infrastructure for gathering, processing, and transporting crude oil. The facility's operations are subject to state and federal environmental regulations, including spill prevention and air quality standards.

The facility is located in the semi-arid grasslands of western North Dakota, an area with sensitive ecosystems including prairie potholes and wildlife habitats. Oil extraction activities pose risks of soil and water contamination from spills, as well as air emissions from flaring and equipment. The region's cold climate and remote location add challenges for spill response and remediation. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these impacts through permitting and monitoring.
