XTO Energy Inc / Garden 1 32H Station - Oil Extraction Facility in Ardmore, Oklahoma

XTO Energy Inc / Garden 1 32H Station is an oil extraction facility located 1 mile north of the refinery and E1920 Road in Carter County, near Ardmore, Oklahoma. The facility is operational and engaged in crude petroleum extraction, classified under NAICS codes 211111 and 211120. As part of the United States' extensive oil infrastructure, it contributes to the region's energy supply. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Oil extraction activities are subject to Clean Air Act regulations, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas operations, and spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC) requirements. The site's location in a landlocked state reduces coastal spill risks, but groundwater and soil contamination remain concerns. The Garden 1 32H Station is part of XTO Energy's portfolio, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil. The facility's scale is typical for a single-well pad in the region, contributing to local employment and tax revenue. Its operational status ensures continued production from the Woodford Shale or similar formations in the Ardmore Basin.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of southern Oklahoma, where oil extraction can impact local water resources and air quality. The site's proximity to agricultural land and the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer necessitates careful management of produced water and drilling fluids. Spill risks are mitigated by SPCC plans, but the potential for soil contamination from hydrocarbons remains a concern. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to minimize environmental harm.
