Latigo Oil and Gas Inc / Eades Thomas 1 30 Well Pad is an operational oil extraction facility located in Beaver, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is situated in Beaver County, approximately 0.4 miles south of Hollow N1570/E0210, and is part of the broader oil and gas extraction sector in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which oversee air emissions, water discharges, and well safety. Typical oil extraction operations in this area involve drilling and completion activities, with produced water management and flaring controls subject to state and federal rules. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate the facility's focus on both oil and gas production. This well pad contributes to the local oil and gas supply chain, supporting downstream refining and energy markets. Its location in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon region, underscores its role in domestic energy production. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection and air quality management, typical for extraction sites in this region.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the semi-arid High Plains region of Oklahoma, where water resources are critical for both agriculture and energy production. Oil extraction operations must manage produced water and potential groundwater contamination risks. Air emissions from drilling and flaring are regulated under the EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas. The site's proximity to rural areas means minimal population exposure, but ecological impacts on local grasslands and wildlife are a consideration.
