Drilling Operations

Signal Hill Petroleum owns and operates two rigs
to explore the Long Beach Oil Field.

Our company launched a program with all of the operations specifically designed for an urban environment. To be neighbor and community friendly, our operating parameters differ from the rest of the industry.

The drilling operations use custom designed equipment that are all electric and very low emissions. The equipment also has noise and odor controls that are clean and safe. The drilling operations are all within the public view. We have been successful drilling for several years now achieving good results and maintaining our great relationship with the community.
