Title: ELWOOD OILFIELD, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Abstract: Elwood oil field in Goleta, California, was one of the first oil fields in California to commercially produce oil from the lower Miocene Vaqueros Formation. Discovered in 1928 by field mapping, the oil field reached its peak production in 1930. The eastern part of the oil field straddles the shoreline, extending eastward onto Ellwood Mesa and westward into the offshore. The 1944 extension to an adjacent, connected structure offshore about 3.5 km (2 mi) west of the discovery well nearly doubled the size of the field.
