  • The Oil Fields of the Los Angeles Basin Westside to Downtown
    The Oil Fields of the Los Angeles Basin Westside to Downtown 5 4 8 1 3 6 9 2 10 7 The area extending from the 405 freeway to downtown is the most urbanized oil field in the nation. The region, spanning 13 miles, overlies a chain of 11 oil fields, where more than two million barrels of oil are extracted annually, from wells that are hidden within the urban fabric. It is here that the industry has evolved some of the most unusual characteristics of blending into a changing land, a sort of industrial disappearing act. 1 Sawtelle Oil Field Sawtelle Oil Field is accessed through just one surface site, located next to the 405 freeway, on the grounds of the Veterans surface seeps, such as those at the La Brea Tar Pits, led to its early development, in 1903. At its production peak in 1908, it Administration campus on the west side of Los Angeles. 178,000 barrels of oil were produced here in 2008, through 18 active produced 4.5 million barrels of oil. Its output is now small (just over 50,000 barrels per year), and instead of being covered in wells on site, some as deep as two miles down.

  • An Expanded Matrix to Scope the Technical and Economic Feasibility
    PROCEEDINGS, 41st Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 22-24, 2016 SGP-TR-209 An Expanded Matrix to Scope the Technical and Economic Feasibility of Waste Heat Recovery from Mature Hydrocarbon Fields Jawhara AL-Mahrouqi (*), Gioia Falcone(**) (*)Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, London SW7 2AZ, UK Now with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) (**)Clausthal University of Technology, Agricolastraβe 10, 38678 Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany [email protected] Keywords: co-production, waste heat recovery, decision matrix ABSTRACT Substantial volumes of water are co-produced with hydrocarbons during the latter stages of an oil or gas field’s producing life. Such volumes require costly treatment schemes and inevitably force operators to cease field production, which leaves potentially recoverable hydrocarbons in the ground. However, the flowing temperature of these waste streams is high enough for it to be exploited for district heating and/or power generation. This opens up opportunities for mature hydrocarbon fields with the potential of extending their lifespan, improving their ultimate recovery, providing an alternative renewable low carbon energy source and reducing their operational expenditure. With several feasibility studies and pilots supporting the feasibility of this concept, the objective of this paper is to identify key technical and economic parameters of waste heat recovery from mature and abandoned hydrocarbon fields, both onshore and offshore. These are translated into a set of indices, forming a practical screening matrix for geothermal feasibility. With reference to an existing decision matrix (Soldo and Alimonti, 2015) which was designed to select between two heat extraction technologies, the new matrix is an expanded version, with wider applicability.

  • III. General Description of Environmental Setting
    III. GEnEral DEScrIPtIon of EnvIronmEntal SEttInG III. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING A. OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The proposed project site consists of a rectangular, relatively flat, 2.4‐acre parcel of land that is currently vacant and enclosed with construction fencing. The project site is located at 10000 Santa Monica Boulevard in the West Los Angeles Community Plan area of the City of Los Angeles, and within the boundaries of the Century City North Specific Plan (CCNSP). Century City has been designated, planned and serves as a high density regional center, which is well known for its commercial and entertainment activities and its residential and office high‐rise towers. The areas to the south and west of the project site are generally characterized by mid‐ to high‐rise office buildings, hotels, entertainment, and residential uses. The Los Angeles Country Club Golf Course is located immediately north of the project site across Santa Monica Boulevard. The City of Beverly Hills is located to the immediate south and east of the project site, which includes commercial and residential uses east of the project site across Moreno Drive. Beverly Hills High School is located immediately south of the project site. The Beverly Hilton Hotel and the recently approved, Robinsons‐May (9900 Wilshire) mixed‐use project are both located northeast of the project site across Santa Monica Boulevard. The project site is located at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard, a major transit‐oriented arterial to the north and Moreno Drive to the east.26 Regional access to the site is provided by Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) located approximately 2.2 miles to the west, and Interstate 10 (Santa Monica Freeway) located approximately 2.2 miles to the south.

  • Active Faults in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region Southern California Earthquake Center Group C*
    1 Active Faults in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region Southern California Earthquake Center Group C* *James F. Dolan, Eldon M. Gath, Lisa B. Grant, Mark Legg, Scott Lindvall, Karl Mueller, Michael Oskin, Daniel F. Ponti, Charles M. Rubin, Thomas K. Rockwell, John H, Shaw, Jerome A. Treiman, Chris Walls, and Robert S. Yeats (compiler) Introduction Group C of the Southern California Earthquake Center was charged with an evaluation of earthquake fault sources in the Los Angeles Basin and nearby urbanized areas based on fault geology. The objective was to determine the location of active faults and their slip rates and earthquake recurrence intervals. This includes the location and dip of those faults reaching the surface and blind faults that are expressed at the surface by folding or elevated topography. Slip rate determinations are based on several timescales. The tectonic regime of the Miocene was generally extensional, and the north-south contractional regime came into being in the early Pliocene with the deposition of the Fernando Formation (Wright, 1991; Yeats and Beall, 1991; Crouch and Suppe, 1993). The longest timescale for slip-rate estimates, then, is the time of imposition of the north-south contractional regime, the past 5 x 106 years. Another timescale is the early and middle Quaternary (~ 2 x 106 years), the time of deposition of the upper Pico member of the Fernando Formation plus the shallow-marine to nonmarine San Pedro Formation. Information for the first two timescales is derived from the subsurface using oil-well and water-well logs, multichannel seismic profiles, and surface geology. A third timescale is the late Quaternary (102-105 years), information for which is obtained through trench excavations, boreholes, and high-resolution seismic profiles and ground-penetrating radar augmented by the 232-year-long record of historical seismicity in the Los Angeles area.
