The project involves the rework of existing oil and gas well 17-6D (API #0402911029) located in the Buena Vista Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California, under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). The proposed work is a sidetrack rework intended to restore production by replacing a lost wellbore on the existing pad without expanding capacity or constructing new facilities. The activity is estimated to take seven to ten days and complies with CalGEM’s December 2023 Rework Exemptions Guidance, qualifying for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and Class 4 (Minor Land Alterations). The project has been certified as exempt from further environmental review, with no unusual circumstances or significant cumulative impacts identified. California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is the applicant and responsible party for executing the work, while CalGEM serves as the lead agency for permitting and environmental compliance determination. No federal procurement contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, delivery schedules, or contracting officer details are present, as the documentation reflects an environmental exemption notice rather than a federal solicitation or contract. The project is administered through state environmental regulatory frameworks, with no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) provisions, solicitation numbers, or commercial invoicing mechanisms referenced. All communication and certification are handled via CalGEM, with point of contact information provided for administrative inquiries.
