Enjoy a rare opportunity to visit one of Long Beach's scenic oil islands and hear from the City of Long Beach about how recent refinery transitions are shaping future oil production plans. One of the largest oil fields in the United States was developed under the City of Long Beach in an urban setting, and under a major port.  By restricting the development to offshore facilities, Long Beach was able to prevent unsightly oil operations within the inland, populated areas of the city.  Each island is attractively decorated.  Safety and environmental protection have always been of primary concern.  Long Beach Unit production from the Wilmington Oil Field exceeds 900 million barrels of oil, and the entire field has produced over 2.9 billion barrels of oil.  Don't miss this chance to see the big one up close.
