The project involves sidetracking one existing well, API number 0402913355, known as 504-6D, located in the Buena Vista Oil Field in Kern County, California, with coordinates at latitude 35.17346191 and longitude -119.44699860. The purpose is to restore production by drilling a new wellbore from the existing one to access remaining hydrocarbons or bypass obstructions, without expanding surface infrastructure or changing the well’s original function. The work is being conducted by California Resources Elk Hills, LLC under authorization from the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division, which has approved the project under categorical exemptions to the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, due to its minimal environmental impact and reliance on existing facilities. No new surface facilities are being constructed, and operations are confined to the existing well pad. The project is not related to abandonment or environmental enforcement. There is no stated contract value, pricing data, or formal contract type, as the documentation reflects a forecasted environmental exemption notice rather than a binding procurement action. No specific period of performance, delivery schedule, or invoicing method is defined, and payment details, accounting codes, or contracting officer information are not provided. The place of performance is clearly identified as the well site in the Buena Vista Oil Field, and inspection and acceptance responsibilities fall to CalGEM as the regulatory authority and the contractor as the operator. There are no solicitation numbers, evaluation factors, contract clauses, or procurement-specific requirements identified, and no federal identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are included. The documentation lacks standard contract elements like special requirements, representations, certifications, or technical specifications, focusing instead on environmental compliance and operational scope. Contact for the project is available through CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, California.
