OTTO TURNER 2-15-14 PAD - Oil Extraction Facility in Stonewall, Louisiana

OTTO TURNER 2-15-14 PAD is an oil extraction facility located in Stonewall, De Soto Parish, Louisiana, United States. The facility is operational and engaged in the extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, as indicated by its NAICS codes 211111 and 211120. Louisiana is a major hub for oil and gas production, with extensive infrastructure supporting both onshore and offshore operations. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). Oil extraction sites in the region are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), including requirements for spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC) plans. The facility's scale is typical for a pad site in the Haynesville Shale or similar formations, with multiple wells drilled from a single location to minimize surface disturbance. As part of the broader U.S. oil extraction sector, this facility contributes to domestic energy production. The environmental context includes potential impacts on local water resources and air quality, managed through regulatory compliance. The facility's location in a rural area of Louisiana reflects the typical siting of extraction operations near geological formations.

Oil extraction facilities in Louisiana operate in a region with sensitive coastal ecosystems and significant wetland areas. The facility's location in De Soto Parish is inland, reducing direct spill risk to coastal waters but still requiring careful management of produced water and drilling fluids. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's SPCC rules and LDEQ permits aims to prevent contamination of groundwater and surface water. The facility's pad design helps consolidate operations and minimize land disturbance.
