We are over flowing with joy to be launching carsonCAconnected.org on this beautiful day.

We have a lot of work to do and I’m hoping you will be joining us.

At this time we are working on getting petitions signed to regulate the oil industry.  There are calls to be made and doors to knock on.  You can get stared today by printing out the petition and having your neighbors sign it.  You can also join us making calls and canvassing by signing up to volunteer.

I’d like to also invite you to submit your events to be placed on our community calendar.  If you have a flyer you can submit it in PDF format and we will attach it to your event listing.

 We wish you the best of the best today and everyday.

Occidental Petroleum looks to drill for oil in Carson

Occidental has operated two test wells on the Carson site for the past year and had good results. The company anticipates drilling as deep as 2 1/2 miles, then turning horizontally to get better access to the Dominguez Oil Field. The field was first discovered in 1923 and has since produced 274 million barrels of oil. Occidental expects to procure 6,000 barrels of oil daily, along with 3 million standard cubic feet of natural gas, once the new wells are built.
