Berry Petroleum Company, LLC is undertaking a short-term well rework operation at the Formax West GD-2 well in the Midway-Sunset Oil Field, Kern County, California, with API number 0403023129, to resume gas injection by perforating the existing slotted liner between 703 feet and 819 feet. The activity is expected to take one to two days during daylight hours and will utilize existing lease roads and infrastructure without requiring any new road modifications, well pad construction, or service line alterations. Temporary equipment such as a wireline unit, vacuum truck, fluid returns bins, and supporting vehicles will be mobilized to the site for the duration of operations, with produced water transported via vacuum truck for use in the rework. Human waste will be managed using self-contained toilets serviced weekly or as needed, with all waste disposed of at approved sewage facilities, and all garbage generated will be stored in closed-top containers and hauled to licensed disposal sites. The project has been granted categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Sections 14 CCR § 15301, 15302, and 15304, affirming that it involves maintenance and minor alterations to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), is the regulatory authority overseeing the approval and acceptance of this work, with final compliance verification conducted at its Sacramento office. Although the operation is brief and low-impact, it remains subject to compliance with CalGEM regulations and state laws governing oil and gas operations. No contract value, pricing structure, federal acquisition regulation clauses, federal contracting identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes, or formal procurement documents like solicitation numbers are included in the available information, and the project is documented as a CEQA exemption notice with no formal contract type or financial terms specified. Key points of contact for regulatory matters are provided through CalGEM’s general inquiry email and phone, while the contractor’s representative is listed as Ryan Nelson.
