Overview
Sandridge Energy Inc operates the Stephanie 17 8 1H 2H oil extraction facility near Arnett, Oklahoma. This operational site is part of the region's crude petroleum and natural gas extraction industry.
The Sandridge Energy Inc / Stephanie 17 8 1H 2H is an oil extraction facility located approximately 0.5 miles east of the intersection of E0620 and N1800 roads near Arnett, Oklahoma. Situated in Ellis County, this site is part of the broader oil and gas production landscape in the Anadarko Basin, a region known for its hydrocarbon reserves. The facility is currently operational and contributes to the local energy supply chain. As an oil extraction site, the facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies such as the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The NAICS codes 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate that the site may produce both crude oil and natural gas. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and production, with associated equipment like pumps, separators, and storage tanks. The facility's scale is consistent with small to medium-sized extraction operations common in the region. The environmental significance of this facility lies in its potential impacts on local air and water resources. Oil extraction activities can generate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, as well as produce wastewater that requires proper management. The site's location in a rural area of Oklahoma means it is subject to state and federal regulations aimed at minimizing environmental harm, including the EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations. Proper well integrity and spill prevention measures are critical to protecting the surrounding environment.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, characterized by grasslands and agricultural land. Oil extraction in this area can affect local air quality through emissions of VOCs and methane, and water resources through potential spills or improper wastewater disposal. The site's proximity to rural communities and farmland underscores the importance of adherence to EPA regulations and state-level best management practices to mitigate environmental risks.
