===Petroleum=== The large thickness of marine sediments in the western segment have made it a habitat for oil. Several dozen fields are found onshore and offshore, particularly in the Santa Barbara Channel and Ventura Basin. Much oil has pooled in the Monterey Formation, which is produced onshore and offshore. In the eastern Santa Barbara Channel oil is held in younger sedimentary rocks. The [[Los Angeles Basin]] south of the western segment, formed during rotation of that segment away from the Peninsular Ranges.<ref name=":3" /> It is also a site of prolific oil production. The California Geologic Survey states: <blockquote>Great thicknesses of [[Cenozoic]] petroleum-rich sedimentary rocks have been folded and faulted, making California one of the [[California oil and gas industry|most important oil-producing areas]] in the United States.<ref name=CGPNote36>[http://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/information/publications/cgs_notes/note_36/Documents/note_36.pdf ‘’California Geologic Provinces,’’ Note 36, page 2] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161222132418/http://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/information/publications/cgs_notes/note_36/Documents/note_36.pdf |date=2016-12-22 }}</ref></blockquote>
