California oil and gas fields. Volume 1. North and East Central California. East Central California, Part 3 (N through Z)

Book ·
OSTI ID:5378294

This part of the volume is a compilation of oil and gas field geologic maps and statistical data for all fields in the API region of E.-central California. It exhibits a departure in format from the original map and data sheet publication which first appeared in Oct. 1960. Aside from the loose leaf format, which will permit planned periodic updating, many other changes have been made. For example, a typical or composite electric log is shown for most fields; and additional statistical data have been added. In the San Joaquin Valley, oil and associated wet gas occur largely in the Miocene and Pliocene, with lesser quantities in the Eocene and Pleistocene Series, and very minor quantities in the Oligocene, Jurassic, and Cretaceous systems. Dry gas occurrence is minor, being found primarily in the Pliocene, Eocene, and Upper Cretaceous.
