The California Well Sample Repository is the sole facility in California that offers permanent storage and public access to a wide range of geological samples, including cores, drill cuttings, and mineral suites. Established in 1975, this repository, located on the campus of California State University at Bakersfield, houses an extensive collection of materials from thousands of oil, gas, water, and core wells across the state.
With a diverse assortment of samples donated by operators and individuals, the repository provides researchers and enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to study materials from both recent and historical wells, including some of the earliest cored wells in California. The collection also includes ancillary data such as well histories, core descriptions, photos, and electric logs, making it a valuable resource for geological research and analysis.
