The California Well Sample Repository is California’s only facility for the permanent storage and public use of cores, sidewall samples, drill cuttings, outcrop samples, microfaunal slides, foundation borings, and mineral suites. The repository, founded in 1975, consists of two buildings---each 6,000 square feet in area---that are located on the campus of California State University at Bakersfield.
On this website, you can find extensive catalogs that contain information about the thousands of oil, gas, water and core wells from California that are in our collection. There are tens of thousands of entries in our catalogs that list available core, cuttings, well logs, and paleo samples. Our files are in Microsoft Excel (.XLS) format, and they can be downloaded from this site by any interested party. Or, you can visit us at our present facility on the campus of the California State University at Bakersfield.

The day-to-day operation of the Repository is carried out by the curator, with volunteers and student employees. The Project Director, a member of the CSUB faculty, acts under guidelines and advice from the Advisory Committee, which supervises the facility. Grants, contracts, donations, gifts and other funds received in support of the Repository are administered by the California State University Bakersfield solely for the benefit of the Repository. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation established in 1969 to beneficially support projects and services of the State University, which are not provided through state university funding.
The Advisory Committee of the Repository establishes operating policies and procedures, and directs, advises, guides, and authorizes the general operation of the Repository. Membership on the committee has broad representation of those interested in use of the facility. Members currently include representatives from the California State University, California Division of Oil and Gas, State Lands Division, Division of Mines and Geology, Bureau of Land Management, major oil companies, independent oil companies, petroleum service companies, independent geologists and paleontologists, and engineers.
