FISCHER 12 13 CN 1HS Oil Extraction Facility, Arnett, Oklahoma

FISCHER 12 13 CN 1HS is an operational oil extraction facility situated in Ellis County, Oklahoma, approximately 0.3 miles east of the intersection of E0600 and N1790 roads near Arnett. The facility is part of the United States' extensive oil and gas extraction industry, classified under NAICS code 211120 for crude petroleum extraction. Its location in the Anadarko Basin places it within a historically productive region for oil and gas. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies such as the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves conventional vertical or horizontal drilling, with production tied to local reservoir characteristics. The facility's scale is consistent with small to medium-sized extraction sites common in the area, contributing to the broader supply chain for crude oil. Environmental considerations for oil extraction in Oklahoma include groundwater protection, brine management, and air emissions from drilling and production activities. The facility's rural setting reduces direct population exposure, but proximity to agricultural land necessitates careful waste management. As part of the U.S. oil infrastructure, it supports domestic energy production and economic activity in Ellis County.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must address groundwater protection and brine disposal. The Anadarko Basin's geology presents risks of induced seismicity from wastewater injection, a concern for the broader area. Air emissions from drilling and production, including volatile organic compounds, are regulated under the EPA's Clean Air Act. The rural setting minimizes direct human exposure but requires careful management of produced water to protect local soils and water resources.
