Kern County Oil and Gas — Oilfield Container Demand: Kern County is California's most productive oil county, accounting for the vast majority of the state's annual petroleum output. The Kern River oil field — located just north of downtown Bakersfield — is one of the largest oilfields in the United States, with thousands of active and inactive wells across its productive area. The Midway-Sunset oil field near Taft is one of the oldest and most productive in California history. The Elk Hills oil field, once managed by the US Navy as a strategic reserve, now operates as one of the most significant producing assets in the San Joaquin Valley. Together, these fields support thousands of oilfield workers and hundreds of energy companies, well services firms, and drilling contractors who operate continuous operations across Kern County. These operators use shipping containers extensively for secure equipment storage at active lease sites, chemical containment for petroleum compounds and drilling fluids, and field office installations at remote production locations where no permanent structures exist. Container One has extensive experience delivering to oilfield lease sites, including on unpaved access roads where truck clearance allows.
San Joaquin Valley Agriculture: The San Joaquin Valley around Bakersfield is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. Kern County alone produces almonds, wine grapes, pistachios, citrus, cotton, and carrots at a scale that ranks it among California's top agricultural counties. The agricultural operations north of Bakersfield through Delano, McFarland, and Wasco — covering the grape, almond, and specialty crop production zones — use containers throughout the growing and harvest seasons for irrigation equipment staging, fertilizer and chemical secure storage, harvest equipment temporary housing, and field office installations at remote orchard and vineyard operations.
Buyers across the Bakersfield market use shipping containers across a wide range of applications:
- Oilfield tool and equipment storage at active Kern River, Midway-Sunset, Elk Hills, and Taft basin lease sites — including containers on remote lease roads
- Agricultural equipment and supply staging for almond, grape, pistachio, and cotton operations across northern Kern County
