The Crowley 1 28 21XH facility, operated by Validus Energy II Midcon LLC, is an oil extraction site located approximately 0.45 miles northwest of US44 and E1300 Road near Amber, Grady County, Oklahoma. The facility is currently operational and engages in crude oil extraction activities, supporting the broader oil infrastructure in the United States. As an oil extraction facility in Oklahoma, the site operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level agencies. Key regulations include the Clean Air Act (CAA) Refinery MACT standards for emissions control and the Clean Water Act for produced water management. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) classify it within crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, indicating a focus on upstream oil production. The facility's location in Grady County places it within the Anadarko Basin, a region known for significant oil and gas reserves. Its operational status contributes to local employment and energy supply, while adherence to environmental regulations helps mitigate risks associated with oil extraction, such as groundwater protection and air quality management.

Oil extraction facilities in Oklahoma, like this one, operate in a region with a mix of agricultural and industrial land use. The Anadarko Basin's geology presents both opportunities and challenges for hydrocarbon recovery, with potential environmental concerns including groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, as well as air emissions from equipment and flaring. Regulatory frameworks such as the EPA's CAA Refinery MACT and state-level oil and gas rules aim to minimize these impacts.
