Aera’s operations are centered in California’s San Joaquin Valley
Aera operations are centered in California’s San Joaquin Valley, where much of the company’s heavy oil production comes from the oil fields of Kern County—one of the largest oil producing regions in the country. We also produce light oil from the area’s complex diatomite formation.
Thanks to a combination of engineering, lean processes, data quality and innovation, we are able to boost the output of mature fields, making Aera a leader in heavy and light oil reservoirs.
