XTO Energy Inc / Berwyn 1 15H Production Site - Oil Extraction in Ardmore, Oklahoma

XTO Energy Inc / Berwyn 1 15H Production Site is an oil extraction facility located approximately 8 miles northeast of Ardmore, Oklahoma, in Carter County. The site is part of the United States' extensive oil and gas infrastructure, operating under the NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction). As an operational production site, it plays a role in the region's energy supply chain. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction sites in this region typically employ conventional drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques to access hydrocarbons from formations such as the Woodford Shale or the Arbuckle Group. The site's scale is consistent with small to medium-sized production operations common in Oklahoma. Environmental considerations for oil extraction sites include groundwater protection, air emissions management, and produced water disposal. The facility's location in a rural area near Ardmore suggests potential impacts on local water resources and air quality. Operators are required to comply with EPA's Clean Air Act regulations and state-level rules for well construction and waste management.

The facility is situated in a region with mixed land use including agriculture and oil development. Groundwater resources in the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer may be sensitive to contamination from drilling fluids or produced water. Air emissions from engines, flaring, and fugitive sources are regulated under the Clean Air Act. The site's proximity to the Washita River watershed adds considerations for surface water protection.
