Choate SWD #1 is located in Section 35 of Township 19 North, Range 7 West, west of Hennessey along the SH-51 corridor that runs out toward Loyal and Okeene. It is the well that bears the company's name, and it anchors the western side of Choate's Kingfisher County network.
Operators working the acreage between US-81 and the Blaine County line — the stretch of the STACK that runs west from Hennessey through Loyal — route produced water here. Because Choate owns the well, there is no disposal fee paid to anyone else, and capacity for Choate customers is guaranteed rather than hoped for.
Western Kingfisher County, close to home
SH-51 leaves Hennessey heading west and crosses open wheat and cattle country toward Loyal, then on to Okeene in Blaine County. Choate SWD #1 sits in that corridor, a few miles west of town — close enough to Hennessey that dispatch can see the lease road from the office on a clear day, so to speak, and far enough west to shorten the haul for pads out toward Loyal and Omega.
This is the part of the county where the STACK's western fairway runs. Meramec and Woodford wells here produce water at volumes that make disposal location a genuine cost driver, and a well positioned between the pad and the highway is worth real money over the life of a lease.
Operators we serve from Choate SWD #1
The well takes water from across western and northwestern Kingfisher County and from eastern Blaine County operators who find it a shorter haul than heading into Watonga. Pads north toward the Garfield County line, west toward Loyal and Omega, and south toward Kingfisher all fit its service radius.
Choate runs six wells in Kingfisher County precisely so operators are never far from one. Dispatch routes each load to the well that makes the most sense for the truck's position and the site's current capacity; Choate SWD #1 is frequently the answer for anything west of US-81.
The towns along SH-51
Hennessey, population about two thousand, is the company town — in the older sense, that Choate is one of its larger employers and most of the workforce lives here. Loyal, a few miles west, is a farming community of a couple hundred people. Omega is smaller still. Okeene, just across the Blaine County line, is known for its rattlesnake hunt every spring and for the grain elevators that mark the horizon from miles out. Kingfisher, the county seat, is south on US-81; Dover is between Hennessey and Kingfisher on the Cimarron.
These are the communities Choate supports. The company's drivers coach the teams, its dispatchers sit on the boards, and the 2025 Employer of the Year recognition from the state reflects a company that treats hiring locally as a responsibility rather than a convenience.
