Hennessey South SWD #1 — the US-81 well, just south of town

The fastest turnaround in Choate's network for trucks working the Hennessey area. Choate-owned Class II injection right off the main highway.

Hennessey South SWD #1 is in Section 1 of Township 18 North, Range 7 West — immediately south of Hennessey, alongside the US-81 corridor that is the spine of Kingfisher County. Of all ten Choate wells, this is the one closest to dispatch and the one a Hennessey-based truck can reach fastest.

For operators with pads around Hennessey, that translates directly into cycle time: less highway, more loads per shift. Choate owns and operates the well, so there is no third-party fee and no waiting behind someone else's trucks.

On the highway that built the county

US-81 follows the old Chisholm Trail through Kingfisher County — Enid to the north, Hennessey, Dover, Kingfisher and El Reno to the south, then on to the Texas line. Everything in this county is organized around it, and Hennessey South SWD #1 sits right on that axis, a short run south of the SH-51 junction in the middle of town.

That location is the point. A truck that loads at a pad north or east of Hennessey, disposes here and heads back out has spent almost none of its day on a lease road. When the alternative is a long haul to a third-party site with a queue at the gate, the difference compounds fast.

Serving the Hennessey-area STACK

The acreage around Hennessey is some of the most consistently developed in the STACK play. Meramec and Woodford horizontals here, and the Mississippian and older conventional production that predates them, produce water on a scale that makes reliable, nearby disposal a basic operating requirement rather than a nice-to-have.

Hennessey South SWD #1 takes water from pads across the central part of the county — north toward the Garfield line, south toward Dover and Kingfisher, and along SH-51 east and west of town. Dispatch treats it as the default destination for anything within a few miles of Hennessey and routes farther loads to the Davis, Choate #1 or Baines wells as capacity and position dictate.

Hennessey and its neighbors

Hennessey has about two thousand residents, a school district whose Eagles draw the whole town on Friday nights, a stretch of US-81 lined with grain elevators and the businesses that serve farming and oil, and a history that runs back to the Chisholm Trail — the town is named for Pat Hennessey, a freighter killed on the trail in 1874. Dover, Loyal, Kingfisher, Cashion, Okarche and Omega are the towns around it.

Choate was founded here and is headquartered here. The company employs local people, buys from local businesses and supports the school, the FFA and 4-H programs, and the community events that hold a small town together. Oklahoma named Choate its 2025 Employer of the Year in recognition of exactly that. Disposal at Hennessey South SWD #1 is money that stays in Hennessey.
