Oil field discoveries poise Kern County to lead state
In the North Tejon Grapevine area and nearby districts, Kern County’s oil fields show major new prospects from Shell and Richfield. A Winters wildcat near Mountain View on a 7,000-foot depth reports potential of 600 barrels per day with 32 degree gravity, while Vedder prospects in the Ten Section and East Gosford fields draw attention for future output. Vallecitos district reports a 400 barrel per day producer at 3,600 feet and ongoing activity across Kern and Monterey counties with multiple wells planned or underway.
