1 Well Rework Program at Pier G within Tidelands Operating Areas

Tidelands Oil Production Company is undertaking a rework operation on a single existing waterflood well, API #0403702305, known as FJ-51, located on Pier G within the Wilmington Oil Field in Los Angeles County, California. The work focuses exclusively on internal casing repair within the existing wellbore, with no expansion of surface footprint, no vegetation removal, and no increase in production capacity. This activity is classified under Group B of CalGEM’s December 2023 Rework Exemptions Guidance and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which cover existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction of equipment, and minor land alterations with negligible environmental impact. The project received regulatory certification on August 4, 2025, and was publicly posted on August 5, 2025, with no formal solicitation, contract number, or pricing details issued, as it is a permit approval under state environmental regulations rather than a competitive procurement. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) serves as the lead agency responsible for permitting and oversight, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the well site on Pier G. There is no formal contract vehicle, no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, and no procurement evaluation factors or award criteria applied, since this is not a competitive federal contract but a regulatory permitting action governed by state law. The contractor, Tidelands Oil Production Company, is not required to submit representations, certifications, or socioeconomic documentation as typically required in federal contracts, and no Unique Entity ID or CAGE code is referenced. There are no specified delivery schedules, payment terms, invoicing methods, or accounting data such as TAS or ACRN; payment logistics and contract administration details are not defined within the documentation. The only identified point of contact for inquiries is the CalGEM Southern District Office, and while supporting environmental compliance documents like the Notice of Exemption are referenced, no attachments or formal statement of work beyond the exemption classification are provided. The project is limited to restoring the integrity of the existing well through casing repair, ensuring compliance with state standards for public health, safety, and environmental protection under 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, 15304, and 1684.1, with no additional construction, surface development, or operational expansion beyond
