What crude oil looks like
Ever wondered what Kern's most famous export looks like? I took this video of crude oil during a visit Tuesday to Hathaway Oil Company, an independent producer in northern Kern County. Oil from this region is notorious for being thick and goopy ... and it definitely was. Company owner Chad Hathaway said storage tanks are constantly heated to keep the crude thin enough to be transferred into trucks that take it to the Flying J refinery. This video shows the difference between the heated and the unheated stuff. Hathaway is one of the small local producers that sells oil to the Flying J refinery. I interviewed Chad about the importance of the local refinery to his business for an upcoming story on the facility's planned expansion. -- Post by reporter Stacey Shepard 0 comments from 0 users
