Large Lufkin Oil Well in Brea California

This large Lufkin conventional unit is located within the depths of the Brea-Olinda field off of Brea Canyon rd behind Brea Cañon Oil co. As you can see, it is very large. This video doesn't do it's justice to show how massive this thing really is, I can only imagine what it must have been like trucking this thing in on these narrow oil field roads. It is operated by Linn Western operating and it's API # is 05906663 and it is on the Fisher lease. It is well # 14. It produced 2,248 bbl of crude in 2009.
