Nightengale 29 11 17 1H Station - Oil Extraction Facility in Bessie, Oklahoma

The Nightengale 29 11 17 1H Station, operated by Diversified Production LLC, is an oil extraction facility located in Bessie, Washita County, Oklahoma. This operational site contributes to the region's oil production, part of the broader Anadarko Basin activity. Oklahoma's oil extraction sector is characterized by numerous small to medium-scale wells, often using enhanced recovery techniques. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas and state-level Oklahoma Corporation Commission rules. Typical extraction methods in this area involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, with associated infrastructure for separation and storage. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility handles both oil and gas liquids. This station plays a role in local energy supply and economic activity, supporting jobs and tax revenue in Washita County. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection and air emissions management, with operators required to implement best practices for spill prevention and methane reduction.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities intersect with agricultural land use. Key environmental concerns include potential groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, as well as air emissions from volatile organic compounds and methane. Operators must comply with EPA's Subpart OOOOa standards for methane and VOC reductions, and state regulations for disposal of produced water via injection wells.
