California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a well rework at API #0403034843, known as 21H-6D, located in the Buena Vista Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California. The project, which is estimated to take seven to ten days, involves sidetracking the existing wellbore to restore production while operating entirely within the current industrial pad, with no expansion of facility capacity or disturbance of previously undisturbed land. This activity is authorized under CalGEM’s Group B rework exemptions as outlined in its December 2023 guidance document and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which cover existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction, and minor alterations. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division, serves as the lead agency, providing regulatory approval and oversight. The project has been posted as a forecast on October 22, 2025, indicating it is in the planning phase rather than an active contract, with no formal solicitation number, contract value, or pricing information available. The place of performance is the well site in Section 06/T.32S/R.24E/B&M: MD, with coordinates at latitude 35.17969513 and longitude -119.44267273. There are no federal contract clauses, FAR provisions, or federal acquisition requirements applicable, as the activity is governed solely by California state environmental and energy regulations. No invoices, payment details, accounting codes, or delivery schedules are specified, and no unique entity identifiers, size certifications, or socioeconomic representations are required or provided beyond the contractor’s entity name. Contact for project inquiries is through CalGEM’s central office, with primary communication managed via email at calgemcentral@conservation.ca.gov and a secondary contact through the contractor’s agent. Acceptance of the work is contingent upon regulatory compliance as determined by CalGEM, with no separate inspection or quality standards beyond adherence to the cited CEQA exemptions and internal guidance.
