Sandridge Energy Inc Annaliese 1 15H & Kisling 1 22H Oil Extraction, Amorita, Oklahoma

Sandridge Energy Inc operates the Annaliese 1 15H and Kisling 1 22H oil extraction sites near Amorita, Oklahoma. These facilities are part of the broader oil and gas production in Alfalfa County, a region with a history of hydrocarbon development. The sites are classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction), indicating a focus on primary extraction activities. Oil extraction in Oklahoma is regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Facilities must comply with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA), including spill prevention and control measures. The EPA's Refinery MACT standards may apply if processing occurs, though these sites appear focused on extraction. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and production, with associated infrastructure like separators and storage tanks. The environmental context includes potential risks from brine disposal, hydrocarbon spills, and air emissions. Oklahoma's oil fields are subject to seismic activity concerns related to wastewater injection. Operators must implement best management practices for water management and leak detection. The sites' rural location reduces immediate population exposure but requires careful monitoring of groundwater and soil quality.

Oil extraction in Alfalfa County involves risks from brine spills, hydrocarbon leaks, and air emissions from volatile organic compounds. The region's geology may influence wastewater injection practices, which are regulated to mitigate induced seismicity. Operators must comply with EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and Oklahoma's water protection regulations.
