Sandridge Energy Inc WGS 1 1H Oil Extraction Facility, Burlington, Oklahoma

Sandridge Energy Inc WGS 1 1H is an oil extraction facility located in Burlington, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's oil production, which is part of the larger Mid-Continent oil province. Oklahoma has a long history of oil and gas extraction, with many wells targeting the Anadarko Basin and other formations. The facility operates under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). In the United States, oil extraction is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), as well as state-level agencies like the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Typical extraction methods include conventional vertical wells and horizontal drilling with hydraulic fracturing, depending on the geology. The facility's location in rural Oklahoma means it is situated in an area with significant agricultural activity and relatively low population density. Oil extraction in this region supports local economies and contributes to domestic energy supply. Environmental considerations include groundwater protection, air emissions from drilling and production, and management of produced water.

The facility is located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, an area with a mix of agricultural land and oil fields. Oil extraction activities can impact local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane. Groundwater protection is a key concern, as drilling and hydraulic fracturing may intersect with aquifers. Produced water management, including disposal via injection wells, is regulated to prevent induced seismicity and contamination.
