UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC / KNOWLES 1 13H STATION - Oil Extraction Facility in Arnett, Oklahoma

UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC / KNOWLES 1 13H STATION is an oil extraction facility located in Arnett, Ellis County, Oklahoma, United States. The facility is operational and situated in a region known for oil and gas production, particularly within the Anadarko Basin. Its NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate involvement in crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). Oklahoma's oil and gas industry is also regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) and the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Typical extraction operations in this area involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access tight oil and gas formations. As an oil extraction site, the facility contributes to the regional energy supply and local economy. The environmental context includes potential impacts on air quality, water resources, and land use. The facility's location in a rural area with low population density may reduce some risks, but proximity to agricultural land and groundwater aquifers requires careful management of drilling fluids and produced water.

The facility is located in a semi-arid region of western Oklahoma, characterized by grasslands and agricultural land. Oil extraction activities can affect local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane, and water resources through potential spills or leaks of drilling fluids and produced water. The area's groundwater, part of the Ogallala Aquifer, is a critical resource for irrigation and drinking water, making spill prevention and proper waste management essential.
