UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC Wayland 18X7 Oil Extraction Facility, Arnett, Oklahoma

The UNBRIDLED RESOURCES LLC Wayland 18X7 facility is an oil extraction site located approximately 0.56 miles southwest of the intersection of N1740 and E0678 roads near Arnett, Oklahoma. Operating under NAICS code 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction), this facility contributes to the regional oil production in the Anadarko Basin, a historically significant petroleum province. As an oil extraction facility in the United States, it operates under federal and state regulatory frameworks including EPA regulations for oil and gas extraction, such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as well as Oklahoma Corporation Commission rules for well permitting and production. The facility's scale is typical for the region, where numerous small to medium-sized wells are common. The facility's location in Ellis County places it in a rural area with low population density, reducing immediate community exposure. However, oil extraction activities carry inherent risks such as groundwater contamination and air emissions, which are managed through regulatory compliance and industry best practices.

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 impact local water quality through produced water management and potential spills. The region's geology includes the Anadarko Basin, which requires careful well construction to protect freshwater aquifers. Regulatory oversight by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and EPA helps mitigate environmental risks.
