Summary The Los Angeles basin has been included in the World Petroleum Basins project because of its interesting geology and importance as a hydrocarbon producer, and it is the focus of this volume. Initially considered for a convergent-margin volume, presumably in recognition of the late-stage shortening that has taken place in the Los Angeles region of southern California, it is fairly certain, however, that the Los Angeles basin has formed and deformed within the evolving San Andreas transform system, and also that the initial subsidence of the Neogene Los Angeles basin was caused by extension.
