  Conclusions 
  regarding 
  future 
  development. 
  — 
  No 
  indications 
  of 
  petro- 
  

   leum 
  were 
  noticed 
  in 
  proximity 
  to 
  this 
  anticline, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  almost 
  cer- 
  

   tain 
  that 
  no 
  productive 
  wells 
  will 
  be 
  developed 
  on 
  that 
  part 
  of 
  it 
  

   which 
  lies 
  within 
  the 
  Lompoc 
  quadrangle, 
  with 
  the 
  possible 
  excep- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  area 
  at 
  its 
  west 
  end. 
  There 
  are 
  good 
  reasons 
  for 
  

   believing 
  that 
  the 
  oil-bearing 
  beds 
  are 
  absent 
  from 
  most 
  of 
  its 
  north- 
  

   ern 
  flank, 
  and 
  if 
  present 
  under 
  certain 
  portions 
  of 
  its 
  southern 
  flank 
  

   they 
  lie 
  at 
  such 
  a 
  depth 
  as 
  to 
  preclude 
  their 
  successful 
  exploitation. 
  

  

  SUMMARY 
  OF 
  CONCLUSIONS 
  REGARDING 
  FUTURE 
  DEVELOP- 
  

   MENT. 
  

  

  There 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  region 
  treated 
  in 
  this 
  report 
  is 
  one 
  

   of 
  great 
  promise. 
  The 
  structural 
  and 
  other 
  conditions 
  in 
  general 
  

   favor 
  not 
  only 
  much 
  more 
  extensive 
  development 
  of 
  the 
  territory 
  

   that 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  tested, 
  but 
  also 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  new 
  fields. 
  

   It 
  must 
  be 
  borne 
  in 
  mind 
  continually, 
  however, 
  that 
  absolute 
  deter- 
  

   mination, 
  by 
  work 
  on 
  the 
  surface, 
  of 
  the 
  possibilities 
  of 
  occurrence 
  

   or 
  nonoccurrence 
  of 
  oil 
  in 
  any 
  one 
  locality 
  is 
  not 
  possible. 
  The 
  

   best 
  that 
  can 
  be 
  done 
  is 
  to 
  calculate 
  the 
  degree 
  of 
  probability 
  on 
  

   the 
  basis 
  of 
  a 
  summation 
  of 
  surface 
  indications 
  and 
  structural 
  con- 
  

   ditions. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  is 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  tracts 
  that 
  appear 
  especially 
  to 
  invite 
  

   testing 
  with 
  the 
  drill. 
  Most 
  of 
  them 
  have 
  been 
  discussed
