Red Rocks Energy II / Riddle 12 32 is an oil extraction facility situated approximately 0.29 miles south of the intersection of E1490 and D2950 roads near Bradley, Oklahoma. The facility operates in Grady County, part of the Anadarko Basin, a major oil-producing region in the United States. As an operational oil extraction site, it contributes to the domestic crude oil supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves conventional drilling and production techniques, with wells targeting formations such as the Woodford Shale. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both oil and natural gas liquids production. Environmental considerations for oil extraction facilities in Oklahoma include groundwater protection, brine management, and air emissions from production equipment. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density may reduce some local impacts, but regional oil extraction activities contribute to broader environmental concerns such as induced seismicity and water usage. The facility's role in the local energy supply chain supports economic activity in Grady County.

Oil extraction in Grady County, Oklahoma, occurs within the Anadarko Basin, a region with a long history of petroleum production. Local environmental concerns include potential groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from pumps and compressors, and the management of brine and drilling waste. The area's semi-arid climate and agricultural land use require careful water management to avoid conflicts with local water resources. Induced seismicity has been linked to wastewater injection in Oklahoma, making disposal practices a key regulatory focus.
