Tank explosion prompts Chevron to shut wells

Chevron has responded to Thursday's oil tank explosion in Lost Hills by shutting down oil and gas production equivalent to almost 15,000 barrels per day, or about 9 percent of its total California output.

The explosion, which county firefighters estimate caused $10 million in damage, destroyed a 5,000-barrel oil tank used to separate oil from water and other substances that come up during pumping.
