San Miguelito oil field is located on the Ventura Anticline, 4 miles northwest of Ventura, about midway between the Rincon and Ventura Avenue oil fields. The field was discovered in 1931 by means of surface geology. Accumulation occurs mostly within the Pliocene Lower Pico and Repetto sands, many of which are repeated by numerous thrust faults. The major structural feature of San Miguelito field is the S.-dipping Grubb thrust fault which has created a closed anticline superimposed upon the W. end of the Ventura Anticline. Above the Grubb fault, the B-Block is productive in the First, Second, and Third Grubb zones. Gross pay interval exceeds 2,800 ft of which 45% is oil sand. The D-Block lies below the Grubb fault and has a gross pay interval of 4,300 ft of which 42% is oil sand. Pay sands occur at drilled depths ranging between 5,500 ft and 14,000 feet. Cumulative production to date is in excess of 60 million bbl from 436 productive acres.
