Staghorn Petroleum II LLC / Sinclair 1 9H - Oil Extraction Facility near Canton, Oklahoma

Staghorn Petroleum II LLC / Sinclair 1 9H is an operational oil extraction facility situated approximately 0.2 miles east of the intersection of N2470 and E0730 roads near Canton, Oklahoma. The facility is located in Blaine County, part of the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region in the United States. As an oil extraction site, it contributes to the domestic crude oil supply chain. 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 horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The NAICS codes 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction) indicate that the facility may produce both oil and associated natural gas. This facility is part of the extensive oil infrastructure in Oklahoma, a state with a long history of petroleum production. Its operational status supports local employment and energy supply. The environmental context includes potential impacts on groundwater and air quality, managed through state and federal permits and best management practices.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must manage water usage and potential contamination of freshwater aquifers. The Anadarko Basin's geology requires hydraulic fracturing, which involves injection of fluids under high pressure, raising considerations for induced seismicity and chemical handling. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring.
