Aera Energy LLC is proceeding with the rework of one existing oil and gas well, API number 0403032650, known as 7104D-3, located in the South Belridge Oil Field in Kern County, California. This activity is being conducted under regulatory approval from the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) and is justified through categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which permit minor alterations, repairs, and replacement activities at existing facilities without significant environmental impact. The scope of work involves routine well interventions such as perforating, casing repair or replacement, and installation or removal of downhole equipment, all limited to the existing well footprint with no expansion of operational use. No contract value, pricing details, or financial terms are specified in the available documentation, and the project is not structured as a competitive procurement but rather as a ministerial permitting action based on compliance with state environmental regulations. The place of performance is clearly defined at the well site, with coordinates 35.4400, -119.7001, and acceptance of work is tied to adherence to CEQA exemption criteria rather than formal inspection or delivery protocols. While contact information is provided for CalGEM and Aera, there are no designated contracting officer, technical representative, or payment office details, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or solicitation-specific submission requirements are applicable or present. The project was certified under CEQA on August 1, 2025, and publicly posted on August 4, 2025, as part of California’s environmental review process, with no indications of federal funding, procurement mechanisms, or competitive evaluation factors.
