Abstract:
The Placerita Canyon oil field is developed in continental sands of Pico or Saugus age. Saturation occurs through an interval of 700 feet, with 150-400 feet of productive sand, yielding 12°-26° gravity oil.
The structure is a monocline dipping west-northwest at about 25 degrees, closed on the northeast by the San Gabriel fault, and on the south and east by minor faults. Other small faults divide the field into separate pools of varying gravity.
The proven area now covers about 560 acres, of which the intensively developed higher-gravity area (Confusion Hill) includes about 125 acres. The total reserve is estimated at 30 million barrels.
