I counted the narrator guy saying the word "um" at least 126 times...😁
Um your right.
Jeff "M." Nickell
Very irritating, they couldn't find a better narrator than this egg???
Very interesting.
I worked in oil center/kern river field when Getty oil was the primary producer. It was my understanding the Chinese hand dug the early wells. ? Anyway some of the wooden Derricks were still standing
Albert Chuchian owned about 4 oil wells here.
Damn ha I work out on the chevron lease !
WITH OUT STEAM ENGINES THEY HAD NO POWER TO DRILL.SIR JAMES WATT AND BOULTON MADE THE FIRST ENGINES.
No reason for the caps lock.
What powers those equipment to lift constantly ? Electricity ?
Yes usually but sometimes they use combustion engines or generators running on natural gas or propane or diesel
Most producers lifting heavy thick oil use steam to drive the oil to the producing wells. Secondary use of steam is erection of steam co-generation plants to supply steam and electricity to operate the field.
@@user-zq3iz3zn5mGood to know 🙂
Is there still a lot of oil left in the field?
Yes, I work here. quite a bit of oil is still retrievable because of all new drilling technologies.
theyre fracking it now -- as much as they can until we all burn to death from climate change
Yes and oil fields regenerate over time.

The world uses 100 million barrels of petroleum every day, it powers 97,% of all transportation!!☺️
The first oil produce was done north of Santa Paula, CA in California by Union Oil of California not Bakersfield. FYI it's Oil City not Oil Center.
What year was that?
Then why the fuck is our gas so expensive!
Poor resource management at the governmental level.
He sounds more like a PR agent than a historian. Not much history in 8min
yeah he works for oil and gas, he's a crony
Amen, oil and gas is very good, we have lots of oil and gas, drill baby drill :)
The last gasps of a dinosaur industry.
Oil is not a product of dinosaur degeneration. It is made like coal and diamonds, it is acient sea plankton layered and trapped in layers of silts.
he was a terrible sociology professor at Bakersfield college.
Lol
We used to call this oilfield "hell" when I worked for Schlumberger. Looked like hell, and smelled like hell. I was embarrassed to be a petroleum engineer when I saw this oilfield for the first time. This oilfield along with Midway Sunset are an abomination. Ugly on a colossal scale, you can see this abomination from space.
So saith the abominable oil man!!!
The oil industry kills.
Let's see the "proof"!
protecting their investment aka. Being greedy oil barons
Yeah. Those greedy oil Baron's put food on millions of families tables across the world, mine being one of those families. Don't get involved in things you know nothing about.
@@thebadguy9058 Yes Geek crafted should ban oil from their lives.
Anyone reading this comment, ask God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost to show you what I’m trying to tell you and others!
....Once things happen a few times... People get the message. Trump 2020.
Yes, people did indeed "get the message" for 2020.
