Development of the Long Beach Unit (East Wilmington) started on July 16, 1965, when Thums Long Beach Co., under the terms of its contract with the City of Long Beach, spudded its first well on the City's newly built Pier J site. By the end of 1965, Thums completed 24 wells (5 are water injectors) from Pier J and was producing approximately 11,000 bopd. It is estimated that 1,000 production and injection wells ultimately may be required to develop the estimated 1.2 billion bbl of oil reserves under a water-injection pressure-maintenance program during a 35-yr period. These wells will be drilled from the harbor's Pier J locations and from 4 drill-site islands. The Long Beach Unit may reach a peak production of nearly 200,000 bopd by 1970.
