Best Oilfield El Monte Near Me

4worldlovers: The Inglewood Oil Field has played a major role in the history of Los Angeles. Since the discovery of oil and natural gas resources here in 1924, the field has helped fuel our lifestyle and strengthened our local economy. Over the field’s history 1,600 wells have been drilled within the historical boundaries of the field. Today, the oil field’s boundary covers approximately 1,000 acres making it one of the largest contiguous urban oil fields in the United States.

The field was first commercially produced by Standard Oil Company of California Los Angeles back in the days when Baldwin Hills was considered “out in the country” and the lands were primarily farmed and grazed.
