Unbridled Resources LLC / Kempf 1 8H Station is an operational oil extraction facility located in Bessie, Washita County, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific oil and gas region, and is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). This indicates a focus on both crude oil and natural gas liquids production. The facility operates within 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 facility's scale is consistent with small to medium-sized operations common in the area, contributing to the regional supply of crude oil and natural gas. Environmental considerations for oil extraction in Oklahoma include groundwater protection, air emissions from drilling and production, and land use impacts. The facility's location in a rural area reduces some urban exposure risks, but proximity to agricultural land necessitates careful management of spills and emissions. The facility plays a role in the local economy and energy supply chain.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, where water availability is a key environmental concern for oil extraction operations. Hydraulic fracturing and production activities require significant water resources, and disposal of produced water is managed through deep well injection. Air emissions from engines, flares, and fugitive sources are regulated under EPA's New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Spill prevention and control measures are critical to protect soil and groundwater in the agricultural landscape.
