California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is seeking approval from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to perform rework on oil and gas well 21H-6D (API #0403034843) located in the Buena Vista Hills Oilfield within Kern and Buena Vista counties. The project involves the sidetrack or replacement of the existing wellbore to recover lost production, maintaining the same site, purpose, and capacity as the original well. The scope of work includes repair, maintenance, and minor alterations that result in negligible or no permanent effects on the surrounding land, water, air, or vegetation. The project is classified as a special notice under NAICS code 213112 and is estimated to take approximately 7 to 10 days to complete. It has been granted a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption under Classes 1, 2, and 4, as the work falls under Group B of CalGEM's December 2023 rework exemptions guidance. The project is managed by the Department of Conservation in Bakersfield, California, with primary coordination handled by CalGEM and representatives from California Resources Elk Hills.
