California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a rework operation on existing oil and gas well 74-34R, API number 0403026667, located in Section 34 of the Elk Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California, on private lands with private mineral rights. The rework involves adding perforations to the current completion interval to enhance production without expanding facility capacity or disturbing previously undisturbed land. This activity is classified under Group B of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division’s (CalGEM) rework exemptions guidance issued in December 2023, and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, and 15304. The project is expected to require 7 to 10 days to complete and has been formally approved with a certification date of July 23, 2025, issued by CalGEM. No federal acquisition regulation (FAR) or Department of Defense contracting clauses apply, as this is a state-regulated environmental exemption process rather than a federal procurement contract. There is no documented contract value, pricing structure, line items, or payment information, and no procurement-specific evaluation factors, award criteria, or contract administration personnel such as a contracting officer or COR have been identified. The lead agency for oversight and inspection is CalGEM, with the contractor responsible for performing the work on-site at the well location, coordinates 35.27598953°N, -119.48685455°W. All regulatory compliance is determined through CEQA exemptions, with no applicable federal reporting, socioeconomic certifications, Unique Entity ID, or CAGE code requirements disclosed. Public notice of the exemption was posted on July 24, 2025, and all communications should be directed to CalGEM’s Bakersfield office or via email at calgemcentral@conservation.ca.gov.
