As long as natural gas prices stay low, “the production of heavy oil will continue in California with or without implementation of solar steam.” Oil industry spokespeople would not comment about any plans to address the carbon footprint of the crude they draw up from their increasingly depleted wells, referring questions to the industry’s trade group, the Western States Petroleum Association. The report shows the oil and gas industry as a major employer and leading economic driver in California, responsible for 368,100 jobs in 2015, or 1.6 percent of California’s employment, with almost $66 billion in total value-added, contributing 2.7 percent of California’s state GDP. Cumulative heavy crude oil production for the United States at the end of 1985 was more than 16 billion barrels. California produced 63 percent of this amount. The total estimated resource for heavy oil in the conterminous United States is about 45 billion barrels. The graph below shows the cumulative annual oil production from the San Joaquin Valley from 1900 to 2000 - a century of oil! Note how as time has gone by light oil has become less and less important to the San Joaquin Valley oil industry, and heavy oil has become more important. This trend is going to continue into the future. Section III discusses the geographic and geologic distribution of heavy in-place oil resources in the contiguous 48 states, the gross reservoir and fluid characteristics of these resources, and previous cumulative production and current reserves of heavy oil. Section IV analyzes the technology and economics of domestic heavy oil recovery. California’s Heavy Oil Production is dominated by four large, steam-enhanced oil production projects in Kern County. These are the Midway-Sunset, Kern River and Cymric Fields, and the Tulare Sand in South Belridge Field. These four projects accounted for about 69% of California’s heavy oil production in 2006. Tankers loaded with Alaska North Slope petroleum, for example, enter marine terminals in northern and southern California, where the crude oil is then sent to refineries by pipeline for processing. An example of pipeline receipts of petroleum at a terminal is heavy California petroleum produced in the Bakersfield area that is sent by pipeline
Heavy oil (10{degrees} to 20{degrees} API gravity) production in California has increased from 20% of the state`s total oil production in the early 1940`s to 70% in the late 1980`s. Oil production in Los Angeles Basin, Coastal Region and San Joaquin Valley has peaked and the declined at different times throughout the past 30 years. In 2012 California produced 197 million bbl (31 million m 3) of crude oil, out of the total 2,375 million bbl (378 million m 3) of oil produced in the U.S, representing 8.3% of national production. California drilling operations and oil production are concentrated primarily in Kern County , San Joaquin Valley and the Los Angeles basin . Heavy oil is richer in carbon than lighter crude and California producers often pump steam into the ground to loosen thick crude so it can rise to the surface. San Ardo oil field produces the most carbon-intensive crude in California (Photo: Flickr/Loco Steve) By Megan Darby The oil extracted from San Ardo field in Monterey County, California, is known in the trade as “heavy”. As long as natural gas prices stay low, “the production of heavy oil will continue in California with or without implementation of solar steam.” Oil industry spokespeople would not comment about any plans to address the carbon footprint of the crude they draw up from their increasingly depleted wells, referring questions to the industry’s trade group, the Western States Petroleum Association.
