Overview
Presidio Petroleum LLC operates the Dunn 1 12HD and Dunn 2 12H oil extraction wells near Arnett, Oklahoma. These wells are part of the region's active oil production infrastructure.
Presidio Petroleum LLC operates the Dunn 1 12HD and Dunn 2 12H oil extraction wells located approximately 3.1 miles southeast of the intersection of Highway 283 and E0770 Road near Arnett, Oklahoma. The facility is situated in Ellis County, within the Anadarko Basin, a prolific oil-producing region. As an oil extraction site, it contributes to the United States' domestic crude oil supply, operating under federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction activities are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), with specific requirements for emissions controls and produced water management. The wells likely utilize conventional drilling and completion techniques common in the region, with production capacities typical for horizontal wells in the Anadarko Basin. The Dunn wells play a role in maintaining local energy production and supporting the regional economy. Their operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the oil supply chain. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection and proper disposal of produced water, managed through state-approved injection wells. The site's location in a rural area reduces proximity to sensitive receptors, but standard spill prevention and response measures are essential.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the semi-arid High Plains region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must manage water resources carefully. Produced water from oil wells is typically disposed of via deep well injection, regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to protect groundwater. Air emissions from engines and fugitive sources are controlled under EPA's New Source Performance Standards. The region's low population density reduces immediate community exposure, but cumulative impacts from multiple wells require ongoing monitoring.
