Project Profile
Location: Los Angeles metropolitan area
The Tapia Canyon field covers an area of approximately 280 acres located about 40 miles north of the Los Angeles metropolitan area and one mile south of the town of Castaic, which lies on interstate 5. The area is rich in hydrocarbons; the crude oils are predominantly heavy with a high viscosity. Texaco found oil in the area in 1954, but the Tapia Canyon field was not discovered until 1957, when Intex drilled the Yule No. 2 well. This well tested at 120 barrels of oil per day of 18 degree API oil. The field commenced production in August 1957.
