The project entails the replacement of the slotted liner at the Midway Premier 16-16 well (API #0403047279) in the Poso Creek Oil Field, Kern County, California, to address well integrity issues as permitted by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). The work involves mobilizing temporary equipment including workover rigs, backhoes, pumps, water trucks, and transport vehicles to perform the liner pull and replacement, followed by demobilization, with no expansion of existing facilities or alteration of the well pad footprint. All waste materials generated will be disposed of in accordance with state regulations, segregated as either hazardous or non-hazardous and handled at licensed facilities. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which collectively affirm that the activity constitutes maintenance, replacement with same capacity, and minor land alterations without significant environmental impact. The permit approval date is September 30, 2025, with public notice posted on October 1, 2025. The contractor, E & B Natural Resources Management Corporation, is responsible for compliance with CalGEM regulations, including 14 CCR §§1684.1 and 1684.2, and proper waste management protocols. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at the well location, with oversight responsibilities held by CalGEM, though no explicit Contracting Officer’s Representative or performance metrics are detailed. No financial terms, pricing, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a state-regulated environmental permitting action rather than a federal procurement. The place of performance is clearly defined as Section 32, Township 27S, Range 27E, Base MD in Kern County, and all activities are confined within the existing operational area. Contact for the project is via CalGEM's central office in Bakersfield, with primary liaison Nisha Mistry and contractor representative Greg Youngblood. No subcontracting, socioeconomic, or security-related requirements are applicable under this notice.
