Abstract:
A black nodular marine oil shale, 100-150 feet thick, lies directly upon the basal Miocene producing conglomerate of the Playa del Rey field and 1,500 feet below the upper producing zone in the overlying Pliocene. Since the basal Miocene producing conglomerate rests directly upon Franciscan (Jurassic?) schist, evidence for downward migration into this conglomerate is good.
The nodular oil shale contains an abundance of free oil and pyrobituminous material and is by far the most highly organic shale body in the field. Geological and chemical evidence, based on several lines of attack, are presented to support the contention that this oil shale is the most likely source for the Playa del Rey crude.
