Conservation and Endangered Species

Environmental hazards posedby the Los Angeles Basin urban oilfields: an historical perspective of lessons learned.The environmental hazards posed to the urban development by oil and gas field operations are numerous.These hazards must be properly evaluated and mitigation measures implemented in order to protect public safety.These hazards are caused by gas migration along faults, subsidence caused by the fluid removal with consequent formationof faults and fractures, and by improperly maintained wellbores.The Los Angeles Basin, California, has over seventy oilfields that underlie extensive urban development.This setting has provided the authors an opportunity to study the long-term environment consequences of this mixed usage.These environmental hazards are not unique to the Los Angeles Basin, but relate to fundamental principles ofgas migration, along faults and fracture zones, subsidence, and outgassing of oilfield gases that must be properly evaluated.
