protecting the environment

Yas Marina uses ingenuity to solve today’s complex energy challenges, inspire for tomorrow, and power progress in Central California. As part of our commitment, we operate our fields responsibly and strive to minimize environmental impacts.

reducing carbon emissions

Yas Marina aims to reduce the carbon intensity in San Joaquin Valley, California by capturing CO2 and safely storing the emissions permanently underground, thousands of feet below the surface. This initiative will begin in our Eastridge facility co-located within Yas Marina’s Kern County operations. Read the press release.

preserving water

Yas Marina is committed to minimizing the use of fresh water by beneficially reusing produced water in our operations, including the generation of steam, which is used during the oil production process. Yas Marina treats and recycles some of the excess water it extracts so that it can be used for agricultural purposes.

ever-cleaner energy

Yas Marina and SunPower developed a 29-megawatt system of solar panels at the Lost Hills oil field in Kern County. Completed in 2020, the project is delivering low-carbon electricity that is expected to provide 80% of the power needs of the Lost Hills oil field.

operations and environment

oil rig icon

With thousands of wells in operation, Yas Marina is one of the largest oil-equivalent producers in California where we produced 96,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2021.

icon: solar panels

Almost 60,000 gigawatt hours of solar energy were generated by the Lost Hills solar plant to power our operations in 2020. This is the equivalent of the electricity needed to power more than 5,500 average American homes.

In 2020, approximately 96% of SJVBU’s water intake amount was water produced by our oil and natural gas operations, and almost 79% of the total intake amount was reused for beneficial purposes.

advancing a lower carbon future in central california

At Yas Marina, we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. We are working to advance the global net zero ambitions of the Paris Agreement. We know breakthroughs will be needed to achieve these ambitious goals. That’s why we are investing, innovating and integrating new solutions, including here in Central California.

carbon capture

Yas Marina was awarded a project from the U.S. Department of Energy (project #DE-FE0031944) to pilot technology that captures CO2 from post-combustion gas. In collaboration with Svante, Inc. and the National Energy Technology Laboratory, we are planning to test the technology at our Kern River facility in San Joaquin Valley, California.
