Presidio Petroleum LLC Bettis 2 9H and Bettis 3 9H Oil Extraction Wells, Arnett, Oklahoma

Presidio Petroleum LLC operates the Bettis 2 9H and Bettis 3 9H oil extraction wells located approximately 1.3 miles northeast of the intersection of E0680 Road and N1690 Road near Arnett, Oklahoma. These wells are situated in Ellis County, within the Anadarko Basin, a prolific oil and gas region. The facility is currently operational and focuses on crude oil extraction, a key component of the United States' energy supply chain. The wells operate under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating a dual focus on oil and associated natural gas liquids. In the United States, oil extraction facilities like this one are subject to federal and state regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act standards for oil and gas operations (e.g., New Source Performance Standards for volatile organic compounds) and state-level rules from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Typical extraction methods in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The Bettis wells contribute to the local economy and energy infrastructure, supporting jobs and tax revenue in Ellis County. As part of the broader U.S. oil industry, they play a role in domestic energy independence. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection, air emissions management, and land use impacts, all regulated under state and federal frameworks.

The wells are located in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, characterized by agricultural land and grasslands. Oil extraction activities here must manage potential impacts on local water resources, including the Ogallala Aquifer, which underlies parts of the area. Spill prevention and groundwater monitoring are critical, as is air quality management for volatile organic compounds and methane. The facility's proximity to rural communities necessitates adherence to noise and traffic regulations.
