There’s so much oil and tar off the California coast that it’s not uncommon to pick up tar on your feet when you walk the beach.
Up near Santa Barbara there are a lot of wells. At night it’s interesting to see the oil platform lights off in the distance.
Hey, Californian’s use gasoline. Why should other states be the only ones who can supply it?

The tar on the beach north of Santa Barbara used to be much worse before offshore drilling began.
The drilling has reduced the overall level pressure thus reducing the seepage.
