Urban Oil and Gas Group LLC / Johnston Trust 4 33H is an oil extraction facility located 1 mile south of N1820 Road/US 283 near Arnett, Oklahoma, in Ellis County. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). It is part of the extensive oil and gas infrastructure in the United States, particularly in the Anadarko Basin region, which is known for its hydrocarbon production. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies such as the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction in this region typically involves drilling and completion techniques, including hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, to access oil and gas reserves. Environmental considerations for oil extraction facilities include potential impacts on local water resources, air quality from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions, and land disturbance. The facility's location in Ellis County, a sparsely populated area, may reduce some risks, but proximity to agricultural land and groundwater aquifers requires careful management. The facility contributes to the local economy and energy supply, supporting regional oil and gas production.

The facility is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a region with extensive oil and gas activity. Environmental concerns include potential groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, air emissions from flaring and equipment, and habitat fragmentation. The area's semi-arid climate and reliance on groundwater for agriculture heighten the importance of spill prevention and proper waste management. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and Oklahoma Corporation Commission aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring.
