San Miguelito Oil Field

The San Miguelito Oil Field is a large and currently productive oil field in the hills northwest of the city of Ventura in southern California in the United States. The field is close to the coastline, with U.S. Highway 101 running past at the base of the hills and is sandwiched between the larger Ventura Oil Field to the east and the Rincon Oil Field, which is partially offshore, to the north and northwest. Discovered in 1931, and with about 125 million barrels of cumulative production out of its original 520 million, it ranks 44th in the state by size. It is currently operated by CalNRG Operating LLC which acquired ownership of the field in 2021 after the bankruptcy of California Resources Corporation, a former subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum.
