Yes, the Central Coast may soon be experiencing an oil boom  of epic proportions due to activity in the Monterey Shale formation, a  rib-shaped area that runs from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Underneath the  ground in this scenic area lies millions of cubic miles of shale that may one  day produce billions of barrels of oil. <\/p>\n<p>Although California has some of the toughest environmental  regulations in the U.S., is known for strict gasoline standards, and has a  strong interest in renewable resources, it is no stranger to fossil fuels. It  was once the second largest oil producing state in the nation and still is  fourth behind Texas, North Dakota, and Alaska, with an approximate output of  over 200 million barrels of oil a year, according to the U.S. Energy  Information Administration.<\/p>\n<h2>Recoverable Oil in the Monterey Shale<\/h2>\n<p>Interest in tapping the Monterey formation has occurred in  cycles, the last one during the early 1990s. Extracting the oil in the Monterey  play has never been easy, but new technological advancements, such as  horizontal drilling and thermal fracking, a process that involves injecting  water and various chemicals into the ground at high pressure to free up the oil  so that it can be recovered, have renewed interest in the play.<\/p>\n<p>The California counties included in the Monterey Shale play  include Kern, Orange, Ventura, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. The formation also  extends offshore and onto the outlying islands. The active Monterey Shale play  area covers about 1,750 square miles in the San Joaquin and L.A. basins, with  the shale ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 feet thick at depths ranging from 8,000  to 14,000 feet.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"block upgrade-block accent-2\">\r\n\r\nTo view the rest of this page, you will need to be a Premium Member.You are visiting the Members Section as a <em>Free BASIC Member<\/em>.
