The Town of Bessie 34 11 17 2H Station is an oil extraction facility operated by Diversified Production LLC, located in Bessie, Washita County, Oklahoma. This facility is part of the broader oil infrastructure in the United States, specifically within the Anadarko Basin, a region known for its oil and gas production. The facility's operational status indicates active extraction activities. Operating under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies like the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the facility must comply with air quality standards under the Clean Air Act and spill prevention measures under the Clean Water Act. Typical oil extraction in this region involves horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations, with production rates varying by well. The facility's location in rural Oklahoma highlights its role in supporting local and national energy supply. Oil extraction here contributes to the state's significant crude oil output, which is transported via pipelines and other infrastructure to refineries. The environmental context includes considerations for groundwater protection and land use, managed through regulatory permits and best practices.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must manage water usage and potential impacts on local aquifers. Spill prevention and response plans are critical due to the proximity to agricultural land and water resources. The regulatory framework under the EPA and state agencies addresses air emissions from drilling and production operations, as well as waste management through the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
