RE: Hiding in Plain Sight: The Oil Wells of Los Angeles

in #history8 years ago

My grandmother used to own an oil well on Signal Hill (Long Beach). She sold it because it wasn't producing very much. Unfortunately with the latest technology, it could be producing much more now as old wells have been restarted up there.

Sort:  

Yes, apparently the 3,000 active oil wells number is low because more people are dropping rigs in their yards again. It's not the price, but the technology encouraging them this time.
