River Bend #3-1 — Choate disposal on the Washita, just north of Clinton

Clinton sits on I-40 — old Route 66 — at the junction with US-183, on the Washita River in the middle of Custer County. The River Bend #3-1 is just north of town, near where the river bends, which is where the well gets its name. Weatherford is east on I-40; Arapaho, the county seat, is a few miles north on US-183; Butler and Custer City are northwest and north on SH-33; Foss Lake and Foss State Park are west on the Washita.

Choate keeps a trucking yard in Clinton, so for operators here the company's presence is not a well on a map — it is trucks staged in town, drivers who live here and dispatch that knows the county roads.

Custer County sits over the deep Anadarko Basin, where oil and gas have been produced for the better part of a century and where the STACK's western extension meets the older Granite Wash and deep gas plays that run toward the Texas line. Development here has always been substantial, and disposal has always been part of the operating picture.

The River Bend #3-1 takes water from Custer County — Clinton, Weatherford, Arapaho, Thomas, Butler, Custer City — and from Washita County to the south around Cordell and Burns Flat, Dewey County to the north, and the Beckham County side toward Elk City. Choate's Fay SWD #1-31, at the Blaine–Dewey line to the northeast, covers the northern reach; dispatch routes between the two.

Clinton is a town of about nine thousand with the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, a hospital and the services that come with an I-40 interchange. Weatherford, east on the interstate, is home to Southwestern Oklahoma State University and the Stafford Air and Space Museum, named for the astronaut who grew up there. Arapaho is the small county seat; Thomas, Butler and Custer City are farming towns to the north. Cordell is south in Washita County; Elk City is west in Beckham County.

Choate's Clinton yard means the company is part of this community in a direct way — employing drivers here, buying fuel and parts here, supporting the schools and programs here. The state's 2025 Employer of the Year recognition reflects that commitment across every town where Choate operates.

From I-40 at Clinton, take US-183 north; the site is a short run north of town on county roads toward the river. Use Get Directions for a route from your truck. The well operates 24 hours a day, every day.
