Yep. It’s very rare in southern California to find a property deed that INCLUDES mineral rights.

The earliest one I remember was by the Sears store on Olympic Blvd. That was a very long time ago. It just had a fitted cover over it.

I’m sorry, we looked into this when we bought (36 years ago) and the deed are written specifically WITHOUT the mineral rights!!

It’s covered in the video, but it’s worth repeating: if you own property near one of these rigs, chances are it is pumping oil from under your house. You are entitled to royalties from the mineral rights to your oil.

There are also fake islands in Long Beach which pump oil.

This video looks very similar to an exhibit at the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) on Venice Blvd last fall titled URBAN CRUDE: THE OIL FIELDS OF THE LOS ANGELES BASIN. Website is: http://www.clui.org/lotl/v33/b.html

I hate to see someone’s hard work get used without any credit.
