California's offshore industry offers the prospect of the discovery and development of giant oil fields. Two offshore fields, Hondo in the Santa Barbara Channel and the Beta field in San Pedro Bay, have helped push the state's production to an all-time high, and the upcoming output from additional OCS fields should keep this progress going steady. Signs point to the development of significant oil reserves in the offshore area extending northward from Point Conception through the offshore portion of the Santa Maria basin. Chevron USA has hinted big oil finds. Additional exploration is expected in the Monterey formation. (DP)
