Friesen 10 19 24 1H Station - Oil Extraction Facility in Arnett, Oklahoma

The Friesen 10 19 24 1H Station, operated by Unbridled Resources LLC, is an oil extraction facility located in Arnett, Ellis County, Oklahoma. The facility is part of the broader oil and gas production infrastructure in the Anadarko Basin, a region known for its significant hydrocarbon reserves. As an operational extraction site, it contributes to the local and national crude oil supply. This facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which oversee air quality, water protection, and well safety. Typical oil extraction operations in this region involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil formations. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction activities. The Friesen station plays a role in the local energy economy, supporting employment and tax revenue in Ellis County. Its location in a rural area minimizes direct population exposure, though standard environmental management practices are required to mitigate risks such as brine disposal and methane emissions. The facility's operational status underscores ongoing production in the region.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid High Plains region of Oklahoma, where water scarcity is a key environmental concern. Oil extraction operations can impact local water resources through hydraulic fracturing fluid usage and produced water management. Air emissions from engines and flaring contribute to regional air quality considerations. The site's distance from major water bodies reduces spill risks to surface waters, but groundwater protection remains critical.
