This campaign aims to phase out oil and gas extraction activities in Culver City.
At its special meeting of August 13, 2020, the Culver City Council received a presentation of the Capital Investment Amortization Study for the Culver City portion of the Inglewood Oil Field, as well as public input concerning the future of the Culver City portion of the Inglewood Oil Field (“City IOF”).
Following discussion, the City Council voted unanimously to move forward with further study of the City IOF and authorized the City Council Oil Drilling Subcommittee (Vice-Mayor Fisch and Council Member Sahli-Wells) to work directly with staff as it prepares a proposed Amortization Program that resolves the incompatible oil and gas uses and considers options to phase-out the non-conforming oil and gas activities within the City IOF.
