I have zero experience in California (as most people don’t ) it comes to oil and gas, but has anyone out there worked Sacramento County or know the best options for records research? Thank you!
I don’t know about that specific county but the one time I had to try and research public records in California they had nothing online due to “privacy concerns” so you had to like mail them a letter with parcel numbers and they would mail you back information if they had it.
The Sacramento county Recorder is online with records for I believe the last 50 years or so. Prior to that, it requires on site reviews. I am not sure about judicial records.
James, is this the correct link?

That is it, back to 1849. I was just answering quickly before. Looks like only index data is available online. No document view.
I checked with a landman from CA and he said you might have to consult a title company. Not as easy in CA as TX or OK.
