Wildlife 1 5H Oil Extraction Facility, Arnett, Oklahoma

The Wildlife 1 5H facility, operated by Urban Oil and Gas Group LLC, is an oil extraction site located approximately 0.18 miles east of the intersection of E0780 and N1860 roads in Ellis County, near Arnett, Oklahoma. This facility is part of the United States' oil and gas sector, which is regulated under the EPA's Clean Air Act (including Refinery MACT standards for downstream operations) and state-level oil and gas conservation laws. The site is situated in the Anadarko Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon-producing region. The facility operates under NAICS code 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction), indicating it is engaged in the extraction of crude oil. Typical oil extraction operations in this region involve vertical or horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access oil from tight formations. The regulatory framework includes compliance with the Clean Water Act for produced water management and the Safe Drinking Water Act for underground injection control. As an operational oil extraction facility, Wildlife 1 5H contributes to the local and national energy supply. The site's location in a rural area of Oklahoma means it operates within a landscape that includes agricultural land and natural habitats. The facility's environmental management practices are subject to state and federal oversight to minimize impacts on air quality, water resources, and local ecosystems.

The facility is located in the Southern Great Plains, a region characterized by semi-arid climate and mixed-grass prairie ecosystems. Oil extraction activities in this area can affect local air quality through emissions of volatile organic compounds and methane, and water resources through potential spills or improper disposal of produced water. The regulatory framework under the EPA and Oklahoma Corporation Commission aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring requirements.
