The 'Revolutionary' Fight Over California's Hidden Oil and Gas Wells [including
in L.A.]

When I was growing up here in L.A., there were wells and pumps openly
all over the metro area, not hidden like many are today. And as this
article notes, there are still lots of them operating here, including
major areas with many of them are completely exposed, with expensive
homes all around them.
In fact, when I was a kid living here in The Valley, a drill derrick
went up very close by, on open land past the end of my street. I'd go
over there to watch the operations -- which were impressive but also
rather boring. No pun intended, of course.
Sometime back I used Google Maps to look at that area, and discovered
that my street had been extended past the end I knew, and that homes now
completely covered that once open area. I wonder if the people living in
the home where that drill rig was know that they're living over a
borehole?
