Darlene 28 13N 9W 1H Station - Oil Extraction Facility in Calumet, Oklahoma

The Darlene 28 13N 9W 1H Station is an oil extraction facility operated by Diversified Production LLC in Calumet, Oklahoma. Located in Canadian County, the plant is part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon region. The facility is currently operational, contributing to the state's significant crude oil output. As an oil extraction site, the facility utilizes standard production techniques common in Oklahoma, including artificial lift methods such as rod pumps or gas lift to maintain well productivity. The plant operates under the regulatory oversight of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with compliance to the Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act. The NAICS code 211120 indicates it is classified as crude petroleum extraction. Environmental considerations for this facility include potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions, as well as water management for produced water. The plant's location in a rural area near Calumet reduces proximity to dense populations, but groundwater protection and spill prevention remain key operational priorities. The facility plays a role in meeting domestic energy demand while adhering to state and federal environmental regulations.

The facility is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a region with extensive oil and gas activity. Local environmental concerns include air emissions from flaring and fugitive sources, as well as water usage and disposal of produced water through injection wells. The area's semi-arid climate and agricultural land use require careful management of soil and water resources to prevent contamination. Regulatory compliance with EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas and OCC rules helps mitigate these risks.
