The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), has approved a permit modification for Berry Petroleum Company, LLC, to conduct minor rework activities on the existing well designated by API number 0403003471, known as Berry & Ewing 304, located in the Midway-Sunset Oil Field in Kern County, California. The work involves casing and wellbore reconstruction consistent with California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 1684.1 and 1684.2, and is classified under CEQA categorical exemptions as a Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4 action due to its negligible environmental impact, with no expansion of previously approved use, no deepening of the well, and no significant surface disturbance. The project is regulatory in nature and does not constitute a federal procurement contract; therefore, no contract value, pricing, CLINs, or traditional FAR clauses are applicable. The permitting action centers on compliance with state environmental and well integrity standards rather than a competitive bidding or acquisition process. No formal solicitation or contract number is provided, and the document serves as a Notice of Exemption rather than a solicitation or contracting instrument. There are no assigned contract types, invoicing methods, payment details, accounting codes, or acquisition evaluation factors, as this is not a procurement action but an environmental regulatory determination. The contractor, Berry Petroleum Company, LLC, is responsible for executing the rework in accordance with applicable CCR provisions, while CalGEM retains oversight and final acceptance authority at the well site. The project’s performance location is precisely defined by geographic coordinates and legal description, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site based on regulatory compliance rather than commercial delivery milestones. All relevant information is accessible through the CEQAnet portal, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status details are required or provided, as the action falls entirely within the state’s environmental permitting framework.
