California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a rework of well 353A-7R, identified by API number 0403046412, located in the Elk Hills Oilfield on private land with private minerals. The rework involves plugging back the wellbore with cement and adding new perforations within the same existing hydrocarbon zone to restore well integrity, without creating new surface disturbances or initiating production from previously undeveloped areas. The activity is designed to be completed in 9 to 13 days per well using temporary equipment such as a workover rig, pumps, return bins, and transport vehicles, all of which will be removed upon completion. No new ground disturbance is anticipated, and all waste materials generated will be handled and disposed of in compliance with applicable environmental regulations. The project has been determined to qualify under Group A and B of CalGEM’s December 2023 Rework Exemptions Guidance and is eligible for CEQA categorical exemptions under Classes 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8, as it involves maintenance and reconstruction of an existing facility without increasing capacity or environmental impact. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) is the regulatory authority responsible for permitting and oversight, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site and administratively through CalGEM's review to confirm compliance with environmental and operational standards. The applicant has certified that no unusual circumstances, cumulative impacts, or hazards exist, fulfilling requirements under 14 CCR § 15300.2. Although the project reference number is 725191_CREH_UIC and was posted on September 9, 2025, this is an environmental permitting action under state law, not a federal procurement, and contains no contract value, pricing, FAR clauses, payment terms, or federal acquisition data. Contact for administrative matters is through CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, California.
