California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a project to rework production well 31-35B (API #0402902050) located in the Buena Vista Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California. The primary objective of this operation is to address well integrity issues and remediate known casing holes to protect natural resources and the environment. The project is classified under Group B of the CalGEM rework exemptions and has been granted a California Environmental Quality Act Notice of Exemption, as it involves the repair and maintenance of an existing facility without expanding its former use or increasing its capacity. The rework is estimated to take between 7 and 10 days to complete and will be conducted entirely on an existing pad to ensure no new ground surface disturbance occurs. Operations will utilize mobile temporary equipment, including a workover rig, pumps, and return bins, with all waste materials disposed of according to applicable laws and regulations. This regulatory action is overseen by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division, and is focused on maintaining the existing purpose and capacity of the wellbore.
