LCU TRUMAN 2-5, LCU TRUMAN 6-8 PAD - Oil Extraction Facility in Tioga, North Dakota

LCU TRUMAN 2-5, LCU TRUMAN 6-8 PAD 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, classified under NAICS 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction). It is situated in the Williston Basin, a major oil-producing area known for the Bakken shale formation. The facility operates under U.S. federal and state regulations, including EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations and North Dakota Industrial Commission rules. Typical extraction methods in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, with associated infrastructure for well pads, separators, and storage tanks. The scale of such pads varies, often supporting multiple wells. As part of the Bakken play, this facility contributes to domestic oil supply and local economic activity. The region's cold climate and remote location require robust operational planning. Environmental considerations include water management, flaring reduction, and spill prevention, governed by state and federal frameworks.

The facility is located in the Williston Basin, a semi-arid region with cold winters and sensitive prairie ecosystems. Oil extraction here involves risks of groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing and surface spills. Regulatory oversight includes EPA's Clean Air Act standards for volatile organic compounds and North Dakota's spill reporting requirements. The area's low population density reduces some exposure risks, but cumulative impacts from multiple wells require careful management.
