The Inglewood Oil Field has approximately 820 wells, roughly half of which are actively pumping.
The owner of an oil field in Los Angeles County is suing the state of California over a law that will require it to stop production and plug its wells or face costly fines. Inglewood Oil Field owner Sentinel Peak argues in the lawsuit, filed this week, that the law, which was signed in September by Gov. Gavin News om, is unconstitutional, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
Attorneys for Sentinel Peak argue that the law "represents an illegal attempt to coerce an individual company to stop operation of its legal business," according to court documents. They allege that mandatory fines, in particular, violate federal and state laws forbidding excessive fines.The suit calls the penalties "grossly" disproportionate, with "no apparent upper limit" or "relationship to any actual harm.
