Judge Overturns Los Angeles Oil Drilling Ban, Citing State Law and California Supreme Court Precedent.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has overturned Los Angeles’ ban on oil drilling, which took effect in 2023. Judge Curtis Kin stated that the ban conflicts with state law that assigns the California Geologic Energy Management Division authority over drilling methods. The ruling cited a California Supreme Court ruling that superseded a local drilling ban in Monterey County. The ban was challenged by oil companies E&B Natural Resources Management Corp., Warren E&P and subsidiaries.
