The bulk of Kern County oil fields are west of Bakersfield. In the desert from what I've witnessed. The stuff in Long Beach is ERD from offshore.

This is some fine political grandstanding.

There is plenty to be outraged about right now but this is just a shiny hook.

Elk Hills is west of Bako as well as Chevrons oil field. To the east is Kern River and Kern Front owned by CRC and Chevron (if they haven’t sold). The eastern stuff is fricked as oildale is surrounding half the leases.

Elk Hills and the western fields are desolate, but that field has been sucked dry.

I logged a well in Compton while I was working out in Bakersfield. Down in Long Beach/LA, there are wells still producing all over the city. Not sure if there are any new wells being drilled but yea they are definitely in residential areas.

I agree it’s quite the grandstanding though.
