Aera Energy LLC is authorized to rework one existing oil and gas well, API #0403042490, known as DTR 544DR2-33, located in the South Belridge Oil Field in Kern County, California, to enhance continued resource development. The project involves modifying the wellbore by adding new perforations, repairing casing, installing or removing downhole equipment such as cement plugs and packers, and returning the well to injection service. This activity is conducted under a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1 for existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction, and Class 4 for minor land alterations with negligible environmental impact, as outlined in 14 CCR §§15301, 15302, and 15304. The California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) is the regulatory authority responsible for approving the permit and overseeing environmental compliance, with formal acceptance occurring through their administrative authorization. All work takes place at the designated well site located in Section 33, Township 28 South, Range 21 East, Base Meridian, with coordinates at latitude 35.4487190 and longitude -119.7166671. No financial details, contract value, invoicing procedures, payment terms, or procurement-specific contractual clauses are included in the documentation, as this is a regulatory permit action rather than a federal or state procurement contract. There are no specified performance timelines, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or subcontracting requirements, and no representations regarding business size, socioeconomic status, or unique entity identifiers are provided. The primary submission and contact point for the project is CalGEM’s office in Bakersfield, with technical inquiries directed to the designated agent, Jeffrey Young, and administrative inquiries handled through CalGEMCentral@conservation.ca.gov.
