Kern River Oil Field

The Kern River Oil Field is a large oil field in Kern County in the San Joaquin Valley of California, north-northeast of Bakersfield in the lower Sierra foothills. According to a California State Historical Marker of the original site in Kern County, "Oil was discovered at 70 feet in 1899, when Tom Means persuaded Roy Elwood and Frank Wiseman, aided by Jonathan, Bert, Jed, and Ken Elwood, George Wiseman, and John Marlowe, to dig here for oil. On June 1, 1899, 400 feet to the north, Horace and Milton McWhorter drilled this region's first commercial well."〔http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=25294 〕 Yielding a cumulative production of close to of oil by the end of 2006, it is the third largest oil field in California, after the Midway-Sunset Oil Field and the Wilmington Oil Field, and the fifth largest in the United States.〔(California Department of Conservation, Oil and Gas Statistics, Annual Report, December 31, 2006 ), p. 4〕 Its estimated remaining reserves, as of the end of 2006, were around , the second largest in the state. It had 9,183 active wells, the second highest in the state.〔The largest remaining reserves in California and greatest number of producing wells belong to the enormous Midway-Sunset Field in southwestern Kern County.〕 The principal operator on the field is Chevron Corporation〔(California Department of Conservation, Oil and Gas Statistics, Annual Report, December 31, 2006 ), p. 2〕
==Geographic setting==

The Kern River Oil Field covers an area of in a rough oval extending over the low hills north-northeast of Bakersfield, hills which are now almost completely barren except for oil rigs, drilling pads and associated equipment. This area is the densest operational oil development in the state of California: Midway-Sunset, which has more wells, is almost three times as large in surface area, for a lower overall density. Elevations on the Kern River Oil Field range from approximately 400 to , rising towards the northeast, and the Kern River flows south of the field, from east to west, from the Sierra Nevada into the city of Bakersfield.
The oil field is one of many contiguous oil fields along the eastern edge of the southern San Joaquin Valley, lying between the Kern Front field to the northwest and the Kern Bluff field to the southeast, on the other side of the Kern River. Directly north of the Kern River field is the large Mount Poso Oil Field, entirely in the Sierra foothills, and to the northeast is the Round Mountain Oil Field.
