California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is proposing to rework the existing oil and gas well identified by API number 0403045631, designated as 15SW-1G, located in the Elk Hills Oil Field in Kern County, California. The work involves a sidetrack operation confined to the current well pad with no expansion of facilities or production capacity, aiming to restore lost production through minor intervention. The project is subject to review and approval by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which has determined it qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1 for existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction, and Class 4 for minor alterations to land. The applicant has certified that no unusual circumstances, significant environmental impacts, or cumulative effects are anticipated, and no exceptions to these exemptions apply. The project site is located at Section 01/T.31S/R.24E/B&M, with coordinates at latitude 35.25895309 and longitude -119.35774231. All inspection and acceptance activities occur on-site, with CalGEM serving as the authority responsible for permitting and compliance verification. The activity adheres to CalGEM regulations, including 14 CCR §§ 1684.1 and 1684.2, governing well modifications and reporting. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract pricing, payment details, or procurement evaluation factors are applicable, as this is an environmental permit authorization, not a federal contract. The notice was issued on October 16, 2025, and all communications can be directed to CalGEM at CalGEMCentral@conservation.ca.gov or via the CEGAnet portal. No solicitation number, contract value, delivery terms, or socioeconomic certifications are included, as this is an environmental approval process rather than a competitive procurement action.
