Description: That's not a service they provide at all," said Rick Peace, president of a Bakersfield, California, company that helps manage oil exploration and production.

Environmental Protection Agency has faulted state oil and gas regulators for failing to enforce federal laws meant to prevent oilfield pollution of the state's reserves of water for drinking and irrigation. Brown told the Sacramento Bee in 2013 that he and his family owned a controlling interest in the acreage near Williams and that he planned to put a house on the property. The state research done on the ranch was first disclosed in a lawsuit by attorney Patricia Oliver on behalf of a group of Kern County farmers who allege the Brown administration worked with the oil industry to circumvent laws meant to protect groundwater from contamination. Assessing a private property's oil and gas and mineral potential is not something that state regulators typically do, one oil industry executive said. "There's no evaluation. Brown's request to oil regulators points to the complex way that the governor, an internationally known advocate of renewable energy, approaches oil and gas issues in his own state. The AP asked the governor's office and state oil and gas regulators on Oct. 9, 2015, file photo, California Gov. This is generally under the science of geology, specifically petroleum geology.

An angle of 144 degrees would. Petroleum geology is the science of oil. The governor's office provided two examples Thursday of oil and gas research for public bodies, rather than private individuals — the city of Los Angeles and the Santa Barbara Channelkeeper non-government organization.

Brown saved himself the $200 to $400 hourly cost of hiring a geologist to determine if there was money to be made from his family¿s mineral deposits, and may have violated state law on diverting public employees and other resources for personal purposes. People working in this field are able to determine where petroleum may be located, how much of it there is, and how well it can be extracted. Brown spokesman Gareth Lacy said Thursday the governor was interested in his ranch's history and geology, "not drilling for oil and gas." However, Lacy did not immediately respond Thursday when asked to explain why the memos and map by state regulators referred to the area's oil and gas "potential," and outlined the land's drilling history and prospects. After Brown's initial call, his aides called back within hours to ask regulators to look at what minerals might lie under the Brown ranch and also emailed to make sure the regulators were doing a map for the governor. Jessica Levinson, a governance expert and professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said that if state regulators had done that kind of work before for private landowners, they should be able to provide examples.
