Aera Energy LLC is undertaking a project to rework one existing Waterflood Injector well, identified as 7166AHZL-3 (API #0403029145), located in the South Belridge Oil Field in Kern County, California. The primary objective of this work is to address well integrity issues and restore the wellbore to its original operational capacity to continue oil and gas resource development. The project is situated at coordinates 35.4369114, -119.7069034 and is limited to remedial maintenance and restoration within the existing pad, ensuring no new construction or surface disturbance occurs. The project is overseen by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which issued a Notice of Exemption on August 4, 2025. This determination confirms that the work qualifies for several categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8, indicating that the activities will not have significant adverse environmental impacts. While the project is identified by Form ID 713514 and is listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 5, 2025, it functions as a regulatory permit for administrative approval rather than a traditional procurement contract, and as such, contains no specific pricing, federal acquisition clauses, or formal delivery schedules.
