Oil extraction in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin involves potential risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and surface spills.

Regulatory compliance with EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules and state well-integrity requirements helps mitigate these risks.
