Brentwood’s Sunset Exploration Inc. has been drilling for crude oil since 2018 on Deer Valley Road south of Antioch. The firm is partnering with Indiana-based Powerdrive Oil and Gas on some proposed exploratory oil drilling in nearby unincorporated Brentwood. The site is located about a half-mile south of where Heidorn Ranch and Old Sand Creek roads intersect.
“This is a long time coming; we worked really, really hard on this,” said Councilwoman Jovita Mendoza, who first proposed a moratorium on all oil and gas drilling back in March of 2022. “I’ve learned more about oil and gas drilling than I ever thought I would in my entire life,” she said. Brentwood’s revised rules now focus on specific locations in the city where oil and gas development are no longer appropriate as a conditionally permitted uses, including the Garin Ranch development area north of Balfour Road on either side of Garin Parkway, and Sciortino Ranch, a mixed-use community east of Brentwood Boulevard and on both sides of Sand Creek Road.
