California Resources Production Corporation is undertaking a project to sidetrack four existing wells in the Kern Front oil field of Kern County, California, to support the continued development of oil and gas resources. The specific wells involved are Young Fee 112, Sec 23 233, Sec 23 279, and Sec 23 283. The scope of work focuses on restoring the original functionality of the wellbores while maintaining the same site, purpose, and capacity. All operations will be conducted on existing pads, ensuring no expansion of roads, staging areas, or pipelines, and no new grading or construction in undisturbed areas. Routine maintenance will be limited to fire control and road maintenance through the removal of weeds and ruderal vegetation. The project is managed under the oversight of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption from full California Environmental Quality Act review under statutory and categorical exemptions, as the work consists of minor alterations with negligible permanent effects on the land, water, air, and vegetation. The project is located in an industrial area at coordinates 35.48287300, -119.03827000. Administrative contact and public inspection for the project are handled through the CalGEM Central District Office in Bakersfield.
