Why is There So Much Oil in Los Angeles? Geologist Explains

In this episode of Solomon's Outdoor Adventures, Solomon explains why Los Angeles has so much oil as he delves into the complex and interesting geology of the Los Angeles Basin & its rich Oil Fields. In the 1920's, Los Angeles alone produced over 25% of the entire world's oil supply, and since the 1890s, over 9 billion barrels of oil have been extracted from the area. Oil is one of the main reasons why Los Angeles is the big city it is today.

I NEVER use AI in my videos and I DO NOT use stock footage, as I pride myself in my videography. Sources I consulted to research this video will be written out at the end of the video.
