Sempra Energy Quietly Mixes Mineral Rights with Higher Profile Operations

Although it does not say much about its oil-related operations externally, some crude oil profit-taking is ongoing within the expanding San Diego-based Sempra Energy holdings, known mostly for having the largest retail utility customer base in the nation.
