San Ardo Oil Field: ABSTRACT

Abstract

The San Ardo oil field lies in and close to the foothills east of the Salinas River south of the town of San Ardo. The Lombardi pool lies at the north end of the field while the Campbell pool is at the south end. The Lombardi pool is limited by the dry holes on the north and east while the limits of the Campbell pool are not established at this date.
