The Fay SWD #1-31 is in Section 31 of Township 16 North, Range 13 West, at the far western edge of Blaine County beside the community of Fay, which sits right on the Blaine–Dewey county line. Custer County is a few miles south. That makes this Choate's most western STACK well and the natural disposal point for a three-county corner that has never had much capacity of its own.
Choate owns and operates the well. Operators working western Blaine, eastern Dewey or northern Custer counties get a well close to the pad, no third-party fee, and guaranteed capacity.
The three-county corner
Fay is a small unincorporated community on the line between Blaine and Dewey counties, west of Watonga on the road toward Thomas and Taloga. The Fay SWD #1-31 is just east of it, inside Blaine County. SH-33 runs east–west a few miles south, connecting Watonga to Thomas and on to Custer City and Clinton; SH-58 runs north to Canton and Canton Lake; US-183 is west in Dewey County through Taloga.
For trucks working this part of the state the geography has always been the problem — the nearest disposal was a long haul in any direction. The Fay well is positioned so that it no longer is.
Serving the STACK's western reach and the Anadarko Basin edge
Western Blaine County is where the STACK's Meramec and Woodford fairway runs out toward Dewey County and the deeper Anadarko Basin. The acreage here has been developed more recently than the Kingfisher County core, and the operators who work it have had to solve for disposal distance from the start.
The Fay SWD #1-31 takes water from western Blaine County around Fay, Canton and Longdale; from eastern Dewey County around Taloga and toward Seiling; and from northern Custer County around Thomas and Custer City. Choate's River Bend #3-1 near Clinton covers the southern part of Custer County, and the Pierce #1-34H near Watonga covers central Blaine. Dispatch routes across all three as one network.
Fay, Thomas, Canton and the surrounding communities
Fay itself is a handful of homes and a name on the map, but the towns around it are the fabric of this part of Oklahoma. Thomas, south in Custer County, is a farming town of about a thousand. Canton, north on SH-58, sits below Canton Lake, the Corps of Engineers reservoir on the North Canadian that draws anglers and campers from across the state. Watonga, the Blaine County seat, is east on SH-33; Taloga, the Dewey County seat, is west; Seiling, where Choate keeps a yard, is northwest on US-270.
Choate's drivers and operators here are from these towns. The company's commitment to hiring locally and supporting the schools and community programs where its people live is what the state recognized in naming Choate its 2025 Employer of the Year.
