New Oil Finds and Lease Battles Hit Ventura Oxnard Areas
Union Oil reports Sespe and Louisian sands at Simie No. 117 near Simi, with gas shows and a potential Gale Ridge level field. Simi No. 11 shows oil at 3200 feet. Oxnard prospects heat up as Caltex, Texaco, and Standard vie for a 200 acre refinery area lease amid Humble bids for Berghwood and Rancho Las Posas targets. Standard’s big Oxnard completion yields 600 bpd from a 14000 foot Sespe well. Gas drilling expands statewide with C. E. M. Oil Co. forming to drill near Dunnigan Hills. Beehive Bend and other fields see ongoing activity.
