Kern River Oil Field in 1910. The Kern River Oil Field is a large oil field in Kern County in the San Joaquin Valley of California, north-northeast of Bakersfield in the lower Sierra foothills. Yielding a cumulative production of close to 2 billion barrels (320,000,000 m 3) of oil by the end of 2006, it is the third largest oil field in ...
Kern Front Oil Field Structure Map. The Kern Front Field contains two major producing units, the Etchegoin Formation and the Chanac, both sedimentary, but unconformably overlain. The Etchegoin is a Pliocene marine sand, and the Chanac is a Pliocene non-marine sand. Each is interbedded with silts and clays, and the sands have a high porosity ...
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 ...
The oil field is located along State Route 33, between the junctions with State Route 58 on the south and State Route 46 on the north. The field is in an area of gentle slope to the southwest, just above the San Joaquin Valley which is adjacent on the east; the crest of the Temblor Range, the nearest part of the California Coast Ranges, parallels the oil field about ten miles to the southwest.
McKittrick Oil Field Geologic Cross Section. The predominant geologic feature, and the one that makes the McKittrick field distinctive, is the presence of a huge block of Monterey shale – more than 6 mi (9.7 km) long, approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) wide, and up to 2,000 ft (610 m) thick – which slipped off of the slopes of the adjacent Temblor Range during the Pleistocene and moved eastward ...
Discovered in 1928, and with a cumulative production of 149 million barrels (23,700,000 m 3) of oil as of 2008, and having over 6 million barrels (950,000 m 3) in reserve, it is ranked 38th among California's oil fields by total ultimate recovery. [1] It is a mature field in decline, and is run entirely by small independent operators.
The Buena Vista Oil Field, formerly the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 2 (NPR-2) is a large oil field in Kern County, San Joaquin Valley, California in the United States. Discovered in 1909, and having a cumulative production of approximately 686 million barrels (109,100,000 m 3 ), it is the tenth-largest oil field in California as of 2024.
