Holmes Western Oil Corporation is seeking approval from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to perform rework on existing well 5-2 (API #0401925486) located in the Jacalitos Oil Field in Fresno, California. The project involves the sidetrack or replacement of the existing wellbore to address lost production. The scope of work is limited to repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of the previously permitted well with no expansion of former use, ensuring the sidetracked well maintains substantially the same purpose and capacity as the original. The project is scheduled for completion during the spring season with an estimated duration of three days. All activities will be conducted entirely on an existing pad within an industrial area to avoid disturbing any undisturbed areas. This project has been granted a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption under classes 1, 2, and 4, as it involves minor alterations with no significant environmental impact. Administrative oversight is managed by the Department of Conservation in Bakersfield, California.
