Historic Olinda No 1 well still producing after fifty six years

The Olinda No 1 oil well near Fullerton California began in March 1897 and was completed in April 1897. It produced 4960 barrels in its first year and about 100000 barrels over its lifetime. Refining its annual output yields about 386 barrels or 3860 gallons of fuel daily. The oil powered Santa Fe locomotives and diesel units by Electro Motive Division GM. The Santa Fe oil interests were later consolidated under Chansler Canfield Midway Oil Company.
