Our operations in
California
are concentrated in several large, complex oil
fields within the Los Angeles Basin.
The
Los Angeles
Basin is one of the most prolific oil-producing
basins in the world, with over 7.4 billion barrels
of oil having been produced since the late 1800s.
Exploration began in the basin in the 1880s and one
of the first discoveries was the Brea-Olinda field,
a portion of which we now own.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, our
California production was approximately 2,480 Boe
per day and estimated proved reserves as of
December 31, 2006
were 17.5 MMBoe. Our three largest fields make up
95% of our production and 94.5% of our estimated
proved reserves in California and include the Santa
Fe Springs Field, the Rosecrans Field and the Brea
Olinda Field.
Santa Fe Springs Field
Our largest property in the Los Angeles Basin,
measured both by current production as well as by
proved reserves, is the Santa Fe Springs Field. We
operate 97 active producing wells in the Santa Fe
Springs Field and own on average a 99.6% working
interest and a 92.9% net revenue interest. Santa Fe
Springs was discovered in 1919 and has produced to
date from up to 10 productive sands ranging in depth
from 3,000 feet to more than 9,000 feet. In 2006,
net production was approximately 1,700 Boe per day
and our estimated proved reserves as of December 31,
2006 were 11.9 MMBoe, of which 99% was proved
developed.
Rosecrans Field
Our second largest property in the Los Angeles Basin
is the Rosecrans Field. We operate 42 wells in the
Rosecrans Field and own a 99.5% working interest and
a 91% net revenue interest. Discovered in 1925, the
Rosecrans Field has produced from several productive
sands ranging in depth from 3,700 feet to 10,000
feet. In 2006, net production was approximately 392
Boe per day and our estimated proved reserves as of
December 31, 2006 were 2.7 MMBoe.
Brea Olinda Field
Our third largest property in the Los Angeles Basin
is the Brea Olinda Field. We operate 75 active
producing wells at the Brea Olinda property and own
a 100% working and net revenue interest. Discovered
in approximately 1880, the Brea Olinda Field
produces from formations ranging in depth from
approximately 1,000 feet to 6,000 feet. In 2006, net
production was approximately 234 Boe per day and our
estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2006
were 1.9 MMBoe.
East Coyote Field
The field has 50 producing wells with a 95% working
interest and 82% net revenue interest. Discovered in
approximately November 1909, the East Coyote Field
produces from formations ranging in depth from
approximately 2,500 feet to 7,000 feet. Net
estimated proved reserves as of June 1, 2007 were
3.8 MMBoe. We expect net production to be
approximately 500 Boe per day in 2007.
Sawtelle Field
The field has 10
producing wells with a 95% working interest and 82%
net revenue interest. Discovered in approximately
August 1965, the Sawtelle Field produces from
formations ranging in depth from approximately 8,000
feet to 10,500 feet. Net estimated proved reserves
as of June 1, 2007 were 2.6 MMBoe. We expect net
production to be approximately 400 Boe per day in
2007.
Other California Fields
Our other fields include the Alamitos lease of the
Seal Beach Field, which has 12 wells producing
approximately 62 net Boe per day from formations at
approximately 7,000 feet, and the Recreation Park
lease of the Long Beach Field, which has seven wells
producing approximately 49 Boe per day from the same
zones as the Alamitos lease but approximately 1,000
feet deeper.
