The KNOWLES 25X36 KENNY PAD is an oil extraction facility operated by UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC, located approximately 0.55 miles west of the intersection of E0630 and N1730 roads near Arnett, Oklahoma. Situated in Ellis County, this site is part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region. The facility is currently operational and classified under NAICS code 211120 for crude petroleum extraction. As an oil extraction site, the facility employs typical upstream technologies such as drilling and well completion to access subsurface reservoirs. Operations in Oklahoma are regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. The facility's scale is consistent with regional oil extraction activities, which range from small independent wells to larger multi-well pads. The environmental significance of this facility includes potential impacts on local air quality from volatile organic compounds and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as water management for produced water. The site's location in a rural area with low population density reduces some community exposure risks, but groundwater protection and spill prevention remain key operational considerations. The facility contributes to domestic energy supply and local economic activity in Ellis County.
Environmental context
The facility operates in the semi-arid climate of western Oklahoma, where water resources are limited and groundwater quality is a priority. Oil extraction activities can pose risks of soil and water contamination from spills or leaks of crude oil and produced water. The region's geology, including the Anadarko Basin, requires careful management of drilling fluids and waste to protect freshwater aquifers. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and inspection programs.
