Patriot Resources, LLC is undertaking a minor well modification at the Tapo North Oil Field in Ventura County, California, involving the plug and abandon of the existing wellbore API# 0411100241-01, isolating Zones III and IV, and sidetracking at 2,425 feet to drill a new borehole to the same depth and complete in the original geological zone, ensuring no change in production capacity or operational purpose. The project entails no facility upgrades, no environmental impact, and is governed entirely by state regulatory frameworks under the California Environmental Quality Act, qualifying for categorical exemptions under 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, and 15304, which cover existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction, and minor alterations to land. The sole stakeholder is Patriot Resources, and all regulatory approval authority rests with the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division, which will oversee permitting and administrative acceptance at its Ventura office. The project was posted as a forecast on October 27, 2025, with a certification date of October 24, 2025, and is identified internally as project 727853_Patriot Resources_OG. There is no solicitation number, no pricing data, no contract value, and no traditional federal acquisition clauses or procurement elements such as CLINs, evaluation factors, or invoicing instructions. The only point of contact listed is Danielle Werking, Senior Engineer, with an email and phone number provided, while Chris Alcock of CalGEM is noted as the certified representative for the environmental exemption notice. No federal entity identifiers, small business certifications, or socioeconomic designations are included, and the work is conducted entirely under state environmental compliance, with no federal contract mechanisms, delivery schedules, or payment details specified. All activities occur on-site at the well location in the Tapo North Oil Field, with inspection and acceptance managed by CalGEM without reliance on federal procurement processes.
