Produced water chemistry data collected from the Poso Creek, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista Oil Fields, 2020-21, Kern County, California

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the California State Water Resources Control Board collected produced water and gas samples in the Poso Creek, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista Oil Fields in Kern County in 2020 and 2021. Sampled sites included oil wells; injectate from tanks, pipelines, and injection wells where produced water from many wells, after removal of oil, is stored or transported before underground injection; and integrated produced water from multiple oil wells collected from pipelines before oil removal. This digital dataset contains the site information, analyzing laboratories and methods, and water and gas chemistry and quality-control results for these samples. Chemistry results include concentrations of dissolved noble and hydrocarbon gases and their isotopic composition; concentrations of inorganic constituents including salinity, major and minor ions, trace elements, and nutrients; dissolved organic carbon and optical properties of dissolved organic carbon; stable isotopes of water, strontium dissolved in water, and carbon in dissolved inorganic carbon; and radium isotopes. Samples were analyzed in the field and by eight laboratories operated or contracted by the USGS.
