Abstract:
The Kern Front oil field was discovered by the Standard Oil Company of California in 1915. There are now 3,165 proved productive acres of which 80 per cent are developed. Total production to January 1, 1941 is 45,500,000 barrels of oil ranging in gravity from 12° to 17°.
Production is obtained from non-marine sand zones which are interbedded with siltstone, claystone, and gravel, also of continental origin. In the northern end of the field oil is obtained from discontinuous sands in the lower part of the Etchegoin marine member.
It is believed that the oil accumulation of the Kern Front oil field results from a thinning of section accompanied by a loss in porosity and permeability at the north end of the field, combined with a fault seal on the east side.
