UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC VINCENT 29 1H Oil Extraction Facility, Arnett, Oklahoma

The VINCENT 29 1H facility, operated by UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC, is an oil extraction site located in Ellis County, Oklahoma, near the town of Arnett. The facility is operational and part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the United States, specifically within the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region. As an oil extraction plant, it focuses on the primary recovery of crude oil from subsurface reservoirs. In the United States, oil extraction facilities like VINCENT 29 1H operate under federal and state regulations, including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for injection wells. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) indicate involvement in crude petroleum extraction and natural gas extraction, respectively. Typical operations involve drilling, well completion, and production, with associated equipment such as pumpjacks, separators, and storage tanks. The scale of such facilities varies widely, but single-well sites like this are common in mature basins. The facility's location in rural Oklahoma places it in an area with a long history of oil development, contributing to local employment and state revenues. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on groundwater, air emissions from equipment, and land disturbance. Operators must comply with spill prevention and control measures under the Clean Water Act and state regulations. The site's proximity to agricultural land underscores the need for responsible operations to minimize conflicts with other land uses.

The facility is situated in the semi-arid High Plains region of Oklahoma, where water resources are critical for both agriculture and oil extraction. Oil extraction operations can pose risks to groundwater quality through potential leaks from wells or produced water storage. Air emissions from engines, flaring, and fugitive sources contribute to local air quality concerns, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane. The site's location in a rural area with low population density reduces direct human exposure but requires careful management of surface spills to protect soils and vegetation.
