25-RWK-OPP 18i (1 well package)

This regulatory permit approval, managed by the California Department of Conservation Geologic Energy Management Division, authorizes Berry Petroleum Company, LLC to perform a rework and workover of a single well within the Midway-Sunset Oil Field in Kern County. The specific target is API # 0403067565, known as Unspecified 18i. The scope of work is designed to continue resource development through the modification of existing infrastructure and includes activities such as the reconstruction of casing and wellbores, remedial maintenance, conversion, or abandonment. Technical tasks may involve perforating, casing repair, and the installation or removal of downhole production or injection equipment, including cement plugs, bridge plugs, and packers. The project is classified as a minor alteration of existing wells and does not involve the expansion of previously approved uses or the deepening of wells. Consequently, it has been granted an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 and Class 4 categories, as the work is expected to have negligible or no permanent effects on land, water, air, or vegetation. All operations are to be conducted on existing wellbores and well pads at the specified location in Section 2, T 31S, R 22E, MD B&M. This action is a regulatory permit approval rather than a procurement action, and the project documentation was certified in October 2025.
