West Wilmington - Subsidence
1939: City’s Harbor Department created a petroleum division and drilled the first well under the tidelands. The Long Beach Oil Development Company (LBOD), a consortium of oil companies, was selected as the City's first oil contractor. As development progressed during the 1940s and 1950s, the ground surface in the harbor area began to subside. (two feet per year in 1951) The City and State joined to pass legislation that forced unitization of waterflooding operations to halt subsidence and to increase oil production.

LBU Financial Performance Largest Source of Income to CSLC
21 *Administrative Overhead Revenue to CRC and City of Long Beach not included
22
Field Development 22 Oil production peaked at 148,495 barrels per day in August 1969 before beginning a rapid decline. During 1982 to 1986, a redevelopment program was undertaken. In 1990, ARCO Long Beach, Inc. (ALBI: Contactor for the City), approached the City and State with a proposal to fund and implement a program to optimize waterflood operations in exchange for a share of the incremental tidelands revenue. .
