Diversified Production LLC / Snoddy 2H 21 is an operational oil extraction facility located in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma. The facility is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a major petroleum-producing region in the United States. As an oil extraction site, it contributes to the domestic crude oil supply, supporting downstream refining and energy markets. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as oil and gas extraction support activities. Environmental considerations for oil extraction in Oklahoma include groundwater protection, waste management, and air emissions. The facility's proximity to agricultural land and rural communities necessitates adherence to state and federal regulations to minimize environmental impact. Its operational status reflects ongoing production in a mature oil-producing region.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must manage water usage and potential groundwater contamination. The Anadarko Basin's geology presents risks of induced seismicity related to wastewater injection. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring.
