The formation has for many years yielded oil in areas where it is naturally fractured, and oil companies are investigating ways to make the shale in currently non-productive areas give up the oil through artificial fracturing. [18] Over some large areas, California's geologic layers are complexly folded, making horizontal drilling difficult.
The Aliso Canyon Oil Field (also Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Field, Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility) is an oil field and natural gas storage facility in the Santa Susana Mountains in Los Angeles County, California, north of the Porter Ranch neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles. Discovered in 1938 and quickly developed ...
A pyrgeometer is a device that measures near-surface infra-red (IR) radiation, approximately from 4.5 μm to 100 μm on the electromagnetic spectrum (thereby excluding solar radiation). It measures the resistance / voltage changes in a material that is sensitive to the net energy transfer by radiation that occurs between itself and its ...
Midway Sunset Oil Field Geologic Cross Section The Lakeview #2 gusher (not the more famous Lakeview #1 gusher), 20 May 1914. While the Midway-Sunset field is a large contiguous area covering more than 30 square miles (80 km 2), it comprises 22 identifiable and separately-named reservoirs in six geologic formations, ranging in age from the Pleistocene Tulare Formation (the most recent ...
California's oil output a century ago amounted to it being the fourth-largest crude producer in the U.S., and spawned hundreds of oil drillers, including some of the largest still in existence.
Lawmakers sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a bill that would require at least 3,200 feet between new oil wells and homes, schools, hospitals and public buildings. California lawmakers OK buffer zones ...
California's attempt to manage a smooth transition away from gasoline just got roughed up with this week's decision by Phillips 66 to shutter its refinery in Wilmington next year, wiping out more ...
The Honor Rancho Oil Field (also Honor Rancho Natural Gas Storage Field, Honor Rancho Underground Storage Facility) is an approximately 600-acre oil field and natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County, California, on the northern border of the Valencia neighborhood of Santa Clarita, near the junction of Interstate 5 and westbound California State Route 126.
