Aliso Canyon, Natural gas storage facility in Santa Susana Mountains, California.
The canyon extends through the Santa Susana Mountains, featuring multiple layers of oil and gas-bearing sediments within a southeast-plunging anticline formation.
The field, discovered in 1938, transformed from an oil production site into California's largest natural gas storage facility by Southern California Gas Company in 1973.
The Porter Ranch neighborhood near Aliso Canyon experienced significant population displacement during the 2015 gas leak, affecting community life for several months.
The facility currently operates at a reduced capacity of 68.6 billion cubic feet, following safety regulations implemented by California state authorities.
The 2015 gas leak at Aliso Canyon released 97,100 tonnes of methane, making it the largest methane release in United States history.
