Sentinel Peak Resources California LLC is proposing to rework 11 existing wells in the Cymric Oilfield, located in Kern County, California. The project involves plugging back existing wellbores with cement, sidetracking to depths similar to the original wellbores, and completing the sidetracked wells in the same reservoirs as the original designs. The specific wells included in this scope are Gamble 1-16, Welport 147, McKittrick Front 14, McKittrick Front 56, McKittrick Front 142, McKittrick Unit 1-89, and Welport 28, 33, 48, 71, and 112. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) has issued a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), determining that the project is exempt from full environmental review. This determination is based on Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) categorical exemptions, as the work occurs on existing pads within an industrial area without expanding facilities or creating new surface disturbances. The project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 7, 2025, and is managed by CalGEM as the regulatory authority.
