LCU TRUMAN 1-13 CTB Oil Extraction Facility in Tioga, North Dakota

LCU TRUMAN 1-13 CTB is an oil extraction facility located at 10433 67th St NW, Tioga, North Dakota, in Williams County. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, which is part of the Bakken shale formation, one of the largest oil fields in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Dakota Industrial Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to access tight oil formations. The Bakken play has been a significant driver of U.S. oil production growth over the past decade. The facility's location in Williams County places it in an area with extensive oil infrastructure, including pipelines, storage tanks, and processing plants. The environmental context includes potential impacts on local water resources and air quality, managed through state and federal regulations such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.

The Bakken shale region experiences cold winters and semi-arid conditions, with sensitive prairie ecosystems. Oil extraction activities can affect local water resources through potential spills or groundwater contamination. Air emissions from flaring and equipment contribute to regional air quality concerns. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality aims to mitigate these impacts.
