The total potential petroleum resource in offshore central California may be 4 to 6 billion bbls oil and 5 to 7 trillion cubic feet of gas, per 1996 estimates by USGS and MMS. [32] Most of these fields are north of Point Conception and are heavy oil. Some of these oil reserves could be produced by directional drilling from
Since Newsom signed a law to ban new oil and gas wells near homes and schools in 2022, oil companies poured millions into qualifying a measure on the November ballot to overturn it.
By the mid-19th century, American geologists discovered the vast oil reserves in California and began mass drilling in the Western Territory.

In 1970, local peak production was 10,044 million bbl (1,597 million m 3) per day in November 1970. [8] Total production of crude oil from 1970 through 2006 was 102 billion barrels (16.2 × 10 ^ 9 m 3), or roughly five and a half times the proved reserves over the same timeframe when taking into account the decreasing proved reserves.
