.....old wells being found to have “refilled”.......

One example is the oil field under downtown Los Angeles. Most of it was pumped dry 50 - 60 years ago, but starting about ten years ago, they found that the fields had refilled to such an extent that oil was seeping into the sewer system.

The Manley oil field, the last owner of record from the Manley family foisted it off on the city just to escape the liability.
