Fairway Resources Operating III LLC / Doby 1 1 - Oil Extraction Facility in Buffalo, Oklahoma

Fairway Resources Operating III LLC / Doby 1 1 is an oil extraction facility located approximately 0.6 miles southwest of the intersection of N1840 and E0120 roads near Buffalo, Oklahoma. The facility operates within Harper County, a region known for its oil and gas activity in the Anadarko Basin. As an operational oil extraction site, it plays a role in the local energy supply chain. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act requirements for oil and gas operations. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate a focus on both crude oil and natural gas liquids. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and production, with associated infrastructure such as separators, tanks, and pipelines. The Doby 1 1 facility contributes to Oklahoma's significant oil production, which ranks among the top states in the U.S. The site's location in a rural area minimizes direct population exposure, but standard practices for spill prevention and groundwater protection are essential. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing economic activity in the region.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid climate of northwestern Oklahoma, where water resources are limited and groundwater protection is critical. Oil extraction activities can pose risks of soil and water contamination from produced water, drilling fluids, and hydrocarbon spills. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) rule and Oklahoma Corporation Commission guidelines helps mitigate these risks. The site's distance from major water bodies reduces but does not eliminate spill impact potential.
