EOG Resources, Inc. - SHC Enterprises 32-13-6 Pad Oil Extraction Facility, Bowerston, Ohio

EOG Resources, Inc. - SHC Enterprises 32-13-6 Pad is an oil extraction facility located at 31556 Gundy Ridge Rd, Bowerston, Ohio, in Harrison County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 211120, which covers crude petroleum extraction. As part of the U.S. oil and gas industry, this site contributes to the country's energy supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies in Ohio. Oil extraction operations are subject to the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and state-specific regulations governing drilling, waste management, and emissions. Typical extraction methods in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access oil from shale formations. The environmental context includes potential impacts on local water resources and air quality. The facility's location in rural Ohio means it is situated near agricultural land and small communities. Proper management of produced water and well integrity is critical to minimize risks of groundwater contamination and surface spills.

The facility is located in a rural area of eastern Ohio, within the Utica Shale play. Oil extraction here involves hydraulic fracturing, which requires large volumes of water and generates produced water that must be managed to prevent contamination of local aquifers and streams. Air emissions from drilling and production equipment, including volatile organic compounds and methane, are regulated under EPA's New Source Performance Standards. The region's karst geology may pose additional risks for groundwater migration of contaminants.
