... of prospecting efforts in the Wasco-Semitropic district of California was reached, April 11, 1938, when the Continental Oil Company well No. K.C.L. A-2 was swabbed in to prove that oil could be produced at a substantial rate in the Wasco field from a zone encountered at 13,095 feet. Well No. K.C.L. A-2...

...Earling Lester Erickson Abstract The reflection seismograph surveys which led to the discovery of Wasco oil field were started in 1934. Some additional work was done to outline the structure in 1935. Subsequent to discovery in 1938 a detailed reflection seismograph survey was made for the purposes...

...H. Victor Church ABSTRACT Gas and oil occur in the Pliocene in a number of fields located along three major northwesterly-trending anticlinal structures of low relief in the east-central portion of the San Joaquin Valley. The upper member of the Pliocene, the San Joaquin Formation, is 1,200-1,800...

Average velocities, velocity functions, and probability ratios were derived for the 3 classes of lithology, for all data, for the 2 general areas, and for 3 individual oil fields: Wasco, Rio Bravo, and Coalinga.

.... These shales have not been selectively tested in any of the central valley fields producing from sands. A well at Wasco reportedly flowed 35 barrels per day of 30° gravity oil from 50 feet of upper Miocene cherty shale after being completed under poor mechanical conditions. The Wasco area is located near...
