California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a well rework operation on API #0402902597, known as well 2111-1C, located in the Buena Vista Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California. The project, classified under Group B of CalGEM’s December 2023 rework exemptions guidance, is designed to restore lost production from an existing well without expanding facility capacity or disturbing previously undisturbed land. The work is expected to be completed within 7 to 10 days and is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement/Reconstruction), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) categorical exemptions, as defined by 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, and 15304. CalGEM, acting as the Lead Agency, is responsible for approving the rework permit and issuing the Notice of Exemption, with final acceptance occurring on-site following verification that all exemption criteria are met, including absence of unusual circumstances, cumulative impacts, or significant environmental effects. The project does not involve new construction, changes in operational capacity, or off-site activities. No contract value, pricing, payment details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included, as this is an environmental permit exemption filing rather than a formal procurement. The entity submitting the exemption is not required to provide a Unique Entity Identifier or socioeconomic certifications under federal standards, and no contracting officer, COR, or invoicing system is designated. Key contacts for administrative and regulatory purposes are available through CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, with all project documentation accessible via the CEQAnet portal.
