Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is undertaking a well rework operation at the existing McKittrick Fee 3915-I well (API #0403030801) in the Cymric Oil Field located in Kern County, California, with the goal of reactivating production through salvage perforation within the already established completion zone. The project does not involve increasing well depth, expanding surface infrastructure, or introducing new drilling activities, and all water used during operations will be metered reclaimed produced water, totaling approximately 750 barrels per well. Regulatory approval for this activity is being sought from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which has determined the project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, as it involves minor alterations to existing facilities, replacement of equipment, and low-impact land use without significant environmental effects. The work is confined to the existing well pad and production zone, and there is no proposed change in the scale or capacity of operations. No contract value, pricing details, delivery schedule, or federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses are present, as this is not a federal procurement contract but rather a state-level environmental permit application and approval process. The California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division acts as the lead agency for regulatory oversight, with CalGEMCentral@conservation.ca.gov serving as the primary point of contact for administrative and procedural inquiries. No specific performance timelines, payment terms, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or contracting officer designations are included in the documentation, reflecting the non-procurement nature of the submission. The project site is located in Section 08, Township 30 South, Range 22 East, B&M MD, with coordinates at latitude 35.33118057 and longitude -119.64195251. Inspection and acceptance criteria are based on compliance with the CEQA regulatory framework, particularly 14 CCR Sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, ensuring the project remains within the bounds of its declared exemptions. No representations, certifications, socioeconomic status claims, or federal compliance requirements such as UEI, CAGE codes, or FAR-specified clauses are applicable or included, as this is solely an environmental regulatory submission under state authority.
