The data represent locations of oil platforms offshore of Southern California.

These data show the location for oil and gas platforms located in the state and federal waters of the United States. Generally, this data set does not show platforms that have been decommissioned through a state or federal Rigs-to-Reefs program; only included herein are structures known to be actively producing hydrocarbon products, or those for which production status could not be verified.

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement Pacific OCS Platforms as of August 24, 2010

Point location for oil and gas installations in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico are presented. This layer was converted from GIS data acquired from the U. S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) website. We note that platforms are being added and removed continuously, thus regular updates of this data base are required to know the true distribution of platforms. The current layers are non-projected with coordinates in decimal degrees.

On May 19, 2015, a pipeline owned ruptured in Santa Barbara County, California, near Refugio State Beach. An estimated 21,000 gallons of the oil flowed overland from the break site into the Pacific Ocean and spread across the marine environment. NOAA and our state and federal partners are investigating these impacts and will determine the amount of restoration needed to return the environment to the condition it was in before the spill and to compensate the public for environmental degradation from the time of the spill until recovery. This layer depicts the maximum categorical shoreline oiling observed throughout the impact area of the Refugio Beach Oil Spill. Survey teams conducted daily oiling surveys and observations. This layer represents a compilation of the maximum oil observed at any point in time during the spill for a specific segment of shoreline. The surveys are conducted using the Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT).
