The Cripple Bear 19X18 17 23 1HB facility, operated by Unbridled Resources LLC, is an oil extraction site located approximately 0.4 miles east of E0750/N1850 Roads near Arnett in Ellis County, Oklahoma. The facility is currently operational and contributes to the local oil production landscape in the United States. 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 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate that the site extracts both crude oil and natural gas liquids. Typical operations involve drilling and wellhead equipment, with production volumes varying based on reservoir characteristics. The facility's location in rural Ellis County places it within an area with significant oil and gas activity. Its operational status ensures ongoing contribution to domestic energy supply, while adherence to environmental regulations helps manage potential impacts such as groundwater protection and air emissions from extraction processes.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, where oil extraction activities must manage water usage and potential groundwater contamination. Spill prevention and control measures are critical given the proximity to agricultural land. Regulatory compliance with EPA's oil and gas extraction standards and state rules helps mitigate risks associated with produced water and volatile organic compound emissions.
