On my list. CE for both style & substance. Note that there is substantial overlap (and disagreement) with California oil and gas industry.--Pete Tillman (talk) 17:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

A good resource: History of the Oil Industry (with an emphasis on California and the San Joaquin Valley) at San Joaquin Valley Geology. --Pete Tillman (talk) 17:31, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Also The Sulphur Mountain area tunnels, near Santa Paula, which produced heavy oil from 1866 to 1997! Note this is the same system used today on some of the oil sand deposits (gravity drainage). --Pete Tillman (talk) 17:44, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Current status: Sulfur Mountain Oil Seeps, Ventura County, 2011. --Pete Tillman (talk) 17:54, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
