California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is proposing to rework the existing well with API number 0403019893, designated as 368X-34S, located in the Elk Hills Oil Field in Kern County, California. The project involves a sidetrack operation on the current wellbore to restore lost production capacity, confined strictly to the existing well pad with no expansion of surface facilities or disturbance of undisturbed land. This activity is being conducted under the regulatory authority of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which is responsible for permitting and environmental oversight. The project 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, with compliance verified through applicable CalGEM regulations including 14 CCR §§ 1684.1 and 1684.2. The work site is precisely located at Section 34, T.30S, R.24E, B&M, with geographic coordinates of latitude 35.26930237 and longitude -119.38162994. The project was formally certified on November 12, 2025, by Matt Steffa and publicly posted on November 13, 2025, under the project identifier 727454_CREH_OG. No formal contract value, pricing, payment terms, invoicing methods, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present, as this is not a procurement solicitation but rather an environmental exemption notice under state law. The California Department of Conservation serves as the lead agency and retains responsibility for inspection and acceptance of the work at the site, ensuring compliance with CEQA standards and CalGEM permitting requirements. No subcontracting plans, labor standards, security clearances, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable, as the documentation does not constitute a federal contract. Public inquiries and environmental filings are directed to CalGEMCentral@conservation.ca.gov or through the CEQA Net portal at https://ceqanet.lci.ca.gov/Project/2025110492, and the physical office is located at 11000 River Run Boulevard, Bakersfield, CA 93311. The project is focused solely on regulatory compliance and environmental permitting
