Re: Cooper & Brain, Inc. - Request
for Transfer of Operating Permit
Issued to Occidental Petroleum
Corporation
Gentlemen:
"The undersigned on behalf of our client, Cooper & Brain,
Inc., a California corporation ( "Cooper & Brain ") hereby makes a
request for a transfer and assignment to Cooper & Brain of the
permit to engage in the production of oil and gas and other hydro-
carbon substances from beneath the City of El Segundo currently
held by Occidental Petroleum Corporation ( "Oxy "). The permit was
granted to Oxy by Resolution No. 2149 of the City Council dated
January 24, 1966 and is attached hereto. Such permit was granted
pursuant to Section 20.11 et seg. of the El Segundo Municipal Code
• (now section 16.20.010). Also attached hereto are two (2) dupli-
cate copies of a map showing the boundaries of the oil drilling
district to which the Oxy permit relates.
"Please be advised that this request for the transfer and
assignment of the permit is made since Cooper & Brain will purchase
from Oxy the oil production surface facilities located in the City
of Los Angeles adjacent to the City of El Segundo and the subsurface
oil and gas leases, some of which are beneath the City of El Segundo
0
• and which relate to this permit. As is the case under the Oxy
permit, Cooper & Brain does not and will not use any of the surface
area within the City of El Segundo for oil drilling or production
purposes.
"Cooper & Brain, as part of the transfer and assignment
of the Oxy permit, will agree to post a bond with the City of El
Segundo in a form similar to the bonds currently posted by Oxy with
the City.
"Please be advised that this request for the tranfer and
assignment of the Oxy permit should not be construed as an admis-
sion or agreement by Cooper & Brain that such permit is in fact
required by law with respect to oil production operations conducted
from surface locations outside the boundaries of the City of E1
Segundo.
"If any further details or information is needed, please
contact the undersigned.
