Jennifer Piazza, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Public Health at Cal State Fullerton, assembled the team of researchers to help address the environmental concerns stemming from the pediatric cancer cases.  " Environmental sampling is the first step of our larger, ongoing scientific investigation ," she told Fox News Digital. "We are collecting soil and water samples across Ladera Ranch. They are being analyzed for heavy metals , such as arsenic and lead, as well as pesticides." NOTE, "Young children are highly vulnerable to the toxic effects of heavy metals like arsenic and lead found in crude oil because their bodies and vital organs are undergoing a period of rapid development". " Crude oil and the wastewater produced during oil extraction (" produced water ") naturally contain heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and nickel, which can seep into local water sources during a spill". " Arsenic , a toxin and carcinogen...

OIL, IT'S DOWN THERE DRY HOLE OR NOT. In the Landman series Cooper hits it big by drilling deeper in existing oil wells that were designated as a dry hole, is this a real deal in the real oil man's world? Yes, this is absolutely a real-world practice. In the oil and gas industry the process is known as well re-entry or deepening by drilling down past the existing 2,000 to 4,000 feet or so. The core strategy of taking over old, shallow "dry holes" and drilling deeper to find untouched oil reservoirs is a classic, time-tested strategy used by independent oilmen and wildcatters. In the energy industry, a "dry hole" (or "duster") does not necessarily mean the ground has zero oil.  Legally and commercially, a well is classified as a dry hole if it is incapable of producing oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify the high cost of completing it at that specific depth, at that specific time. Many wells drilled decades ago, like in the 1920's an...

California state oil & gas records at Cal-Gem indicate two deep, historical wildcatter oil & gas wells lie beneath Ladera Ranch, California—one drilled to roughly 8,365 feet down near/under Merriweather Place at  Poets Park in 1961, and another one drilled down to about 4,350 feet on Citrus Lane in 1921 . These old subterranean wells trace back to exploratory drilling before the master-planned community was carved out of Rancho Mission Viejo in 1998. The two oil wells appear to have been re-capped in 2001 and 2002 during construction of Ladera Ranch, they were known to be there. by products of crude oil are, Xylene, ethylbenzene, and toluene are petroleum-derived volatile organic compounds that commonly occur together as part of a group known as BTEX .
