Dear Mr. Hutflesst Ct I am responding to your letter of July 30, 1987, requesting an opinion regarding the likelihood land of subsidence in Butte County due to gas withdrawal from a gas well: No evidence exists to suggest that land subsidence due to gas witl'.. awal has ever �'lEi�RS occurred in the north valley and there is no reason to believe that it ever will happen;: Concerns about land subsidence due to hydrocarbon withdrawal stem largely from the experience in the Wilmington Oil Field in Long Beach; Which subsided significantly decades ago due to massive withdrawals of liquidgio ° petroleum. Geolo ondita.ons in Long Beach are vastly different from west°;^n T3uttc� County and should not be used to wrongly alarm or constrain landowners in the north Sacramento Valley area, If additional information regarding this issue is needed, I recommend that you contact Mr. James Campian, Senior Oil and Gas 'Engineer with the California Division of Oil and Gas, Department of Conservation in Sacramento: If I ,pan be of additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact me Sincerely; �6-Mezf C Howard L.

The California District of the U.S. Geological Survey; Water Resources Division, in cooperation With the State of California Department "of Water Resources, is studying land subsidence in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta area, and the lower Sacramento Valley: The northern limit of the study at(', is :.he Sutter Buttes; however, there is a possibility of extending iiw ,,, bsidence study into Butte County in the future. This cooperati\. A ,idl. is concentrating primarily on the effect of ground -Water wit-adrawals and the compaction of peat on subsidence. The effect of gas withdrawal on subsidence will not be speclfically addressed. The current phase of the trument installation and data collection and it Will study deals with ins be several years before any data analysis will be available.
