The project involves reworking two existing oil wells in the Arroyo Grande Oil Field—Hyla 16 SPNR (API #079-21280) and Rock 12L R (API #079-21268)—by cementing an inner casing string to repair casing holes and restore well integrity. Operations are scheduled to take place over five days per well during the Fall, Winter, or Spring seasons, with daily work hours from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, totaling 10 hours per day. All activities will be conducted on existing well pads using current roadways and infrastructure, with no new surface disturbance, no expansion of facilities, and no change in the use of underground resources. Electricity, production storage, treatment, and transportation will all rely on pre-existing systems, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) is overseeing the permitting process under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with the project qualifying for multiple categorical exemptions including Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 4 (Minor Land Alterations), and Classes 7 and 8 (Protection of Natural Resources and Environment). Compliance with Public Resources Code § 3280(b) regarding Health Protection Zones is required, and all work must adhere to regulatory standards protecting public health, safety, and environmental quality. No federal contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) are applicable, as this is a state-regulated environmental permitting action rather than a federal procurement. The estimated duration, location, operational constraints, and environmental compliance measures are clearly defined, but no contract value, pricing, evaluation factors, payment details, or submission deadlines are specified in the available documentation. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Bryan Norman, Associate Oil and Gas Engineer at CalGEM, reachable via phone or email, with additional administrative support provided through the Orcutt office.
