Diversified Production LLC / Matthew 1 16H Station is an operational oil extraction facility located in Bessie, Washita County, Oklahoma. The facility is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon province that has been a cornerstone of U.S. onshore oil production. As a horizontal well station, it contributes to the region's output of crude oil and natural gas. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act standards for oil and gas operations and Oklahoma Corporation Commission rules for well permitting and production. Typical extraction methods involve hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, common in the Anadarko Basin. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. This facility plays a role in meeting regional energy demand and supporting local employment. Its location in a rural area of western Oklahoma reflects the dispersed nature of oil extraction infrastructure. The environmental context includes potential impacts on local water resources and air quality, managed through regulatory compliance and industry best practices.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, where water availability is a key environmental consideration for oil extraction operations. The Anadarko Basin's oil and gas activities are subject to EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as state-level oversight. Spill prevention and groundwater protection are critical due to the use of hydraulic fracturing fluids and produced water management.
