Berryman 4 17 23 1HA Oil Extraction Facility, Arnett, Oklahoma

The Berryman 4 17 23 1HA facility, operated by Unbridled Resources LLC, is an oil extraction site located approximately 0.1 miles southeast of the intersection of E0720 Road and N1870 Road in Ellis County, Oklahoma, near the town of Arnett. The facility is currently operational and is part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region. As an oil extraction facility, the primary activity involves the drilling and production of crude oil. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate it engages in crude petroleum extraction and natural gas extraction, respectively. Operations in this region typically involve vertical or horizontal wells targeting formations such as the Mississippian Lime or the Granite Wash. Regulatory oversight is provided by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with compliance to the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act for injection wells. The facility's location in a rural area of western Oklahoma places it in a region with a long history of oil and gas development. The Anadarko Basin is known for its significant oil and gas reserves, and facilities like Berryman 4 17 23 1HA play a role in maintaining domestic energy production. The site's operational status contributes to local employment and economic activity in Ellis County.

Oil extraction in the Anadarko Basin involves potential environmental considerations such as groundwater protection, air emissions from drilling and production equipment, and management of produced water. The facility's location in a semi-arid region with agricultural land use requires careful handling of spills and waste to prevent soil and water contamination. Regulatory frameworks like the EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and Oklahoma's oil and gas regulations govern these aspects.
