Abstract:

In 1929 the state production had increased to 801,000 B/D from 277,000 B/D when the decade began.  An additional 200,000 B/D was shut in and 800 million cubic feet of gas was vented daily. Jerry will provide a historic perspective of California’s oil and gas industry, the events which occurred requiring the formation of the DOGGR and CCCOGP, and their partnership in establishing conservation practices for California.
