The work involves repairing casing holes in the Orradre 5180-12 well, API number 04053222345, located in the densely developed San Ardo Oil Field in Monterey County, California, by cementing a 2-7/8 inch inner casing string between 1952 and 1960 feet measured depth. The operation is anticipated to require five days once initiated and is conducted under the authority of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), as part of a regulatory exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction, and minor land alterations. The well is one of approximately 1,450 within a 2.5-mile radius and was originally developed prior to Aera Energy, LLC’s ownership in 1997. The project does not expand the well’s capacity or create new surface disturbances, and all activities are contained within the existing well pad. Inspection and acceptance are performed on-site by CalGEM, which maintains regulatory oversight, and compliance is based on state codes that ensure negligible environmental impact and adherence to established maintenance standards for oil and gas operations. No federal procurement elements, contractual pricing, payment details, delivery terms, packaging requirements, or FAR clauses are included, as the documentation reflects a state environmental exemption process rather than a federal contract. The primary contact for the project is Bryan Norman of CalGEM, with Jeffrey Young serving as Aera’s agent, and all submissions are managed through CalGEM’s office in Orcutt, California.
