Sandpiper History

ARCO used the Sandpiper site for crude oil production after oil was discovered in 1927.

On February 23, 1942 the Imperial Japanese Navy's submarine I-17 surface shells the oil refinery at the Sandpiper site.

At the peak of production, the Sandpiper site included 25 wells.

Oil production at the Sandpiper site began phasing out.

Offshore facilities had been removed, but relics remained on the Sandpiper site.

Oil production officially ended, though some infrastructure remains both above and below ground.

Mr. Ken Hunter purchased the property and developed Sandpiper Golf Club.

Sandpiper Golf Club was purchased by Mr. Ty Warner.
