SANDRIDGE ENERGY INC STEVEN 2815 2 31H and STEVEN 2815 5 31H Oil Extraction Facilities, Alva, Oklahoma

The SANDRIDGE ENERGY INC STEVEN 2815 2 31H and STEVEN 2815 5 31H are oil extraction facilities located approximately 1.1 miles northwest of Johnson Road/CR340 in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma. These wells are part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region. As oil extraction sites, these facilities utilize standard drilling and production technologies common in the United States. Operations are subject to federal and state regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as well as Oklahoma Corporation Commission rules for well construction, operation, and plugging. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facilities produce both crude oil and natural gas liquids. The facilities are situated in a rural area of northwestern Oklahoma, a region with a long history of oil and gas development. The wells contribute to local energy supply and economic activity, supporting jobs and tax revenue in Woods County. Their operational status ensures continued production from the Mississippian and other formations in the area.

Oil extraction in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin involves potential environmental considerations such as groundwater protection, surface water management, and air emissions from drilling and production equipment. The facilities are subject to EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and state regulations for brine disposal and well integrity. The rural setting reduces proximity to sensitive ecosystems, but proper management of produced water and methane emissions remains important for minimizing local environmental impact.
