Hello Robert, I do not know the exact number (and I no longer have convenient access to that information) but I believe there have been in the order of 20 wells driled to 15,000+ feet in the SJ Basin. (Can S&P, or some other rock hound, give us an exact count ??) In any event, there really haven't been very many deep tests given the very complex tectonics along the fold belt and the areal extent of the basin. Good Luck. Later, grayhairs

Robert / Deep Californian Tests This is off the top of my head - I stand to be corrected, and probably will. Prior to Bellevue#1, I believe there were only three wells drilled to deep formations (15,000 feet or more). All were unsuccessful. The deepest producing well in California is at the Rio Viejo field near Old River and Copus roads southwest of Bakersfield, which bottoms out around 14,500 feet. Misc: Interesting Map - Kern County bakersfield.com I believe there is some specific information located in the 100 Year History of Oil Exploration In Kern County located at the Bakersfield "The Californian" newspaper site. You might want to give it a look-see. bakersfield.com
