Coalinga Operations

The Coalinga operations of Aera Energy LLC cover approximately 15 square miles in Fresno County about 9 miles northwest of the City of Coalinga, just west of Interstate 5. Aera's Coalinga unit produces approximately 7,200 barrels of heavy crude oil per day. Crude oil is transported to Martinez, Calif., where it is refined.

In the community, Aera is a longtime member of the Coalinga Chamber of Commerce and serves as a sponsor of the annual Horned Toad Derby celebration. In addition, Aera is the principal sponsor of the Coalinga-Huron Library District’s Summer Reading Program. Annually Aera offers two college scholarships to graduating Coalinga High School seniors and participates in the annual West Hills College Foundation benefit golf tournament.

Aera and its predecessor companies have been producing heavy crude oil in Coalinga since 1913.
