XTO Energy Inc Berwyn CDP Compressor Station - Ardmore, Oklahoma Oil Extraction Facility

XTO Energy Inc. operates the Berwyn CDP Compressor Station, located approximately 1 mile southwest of the intersection of Highway 53 and Tom Howard Road in Ardmore, Oklahoma. This facility is part of the oil extraction sector, supporting the production and transport of crude oil in the region. The compressor station operates under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Facilities like this are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations, as well as state-level permitting requirements. The NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Liquid Extraction) indicate the facility's involvement in both oil and gas extraction. The Berwyn CDP Compressor Station plays a key role in the local oil infrastructure by compressing natural gas for transport or reinjection, which is essential for maintaining reservoir pressure and maximizing oil recovery. Its location in Carter County places it within the productive Ardmore Basin, a region with a long history of oil and gas development.

The facility is situated in a region with active oil extraction, which can pose risks such as air emissions from compressors and potential spills of produced water or hydrocarbons. The local environment includes mixed-use rural and industrial areas, with proximity to the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer, a sensitive groundwater source. Regulatory frameworks like the EPA's Oil and Gas New Source Performance Standards aim to reduce volatile organic compound emissions and methane leaks from such facilities.
