California Resources Elk Hills, LLC is undertaking a well rework project at API #0403045140, known as 27WD-22R, located in the Elk Hills Oilfield in Kern County, California, to address well integrity issues by running an inner casing string. The work is planned to occur on an existing industrial pad with no expansion of facility capacity or disturbance of undisturbed land and is expected to take 7 to 10 days per rework. The project has been determined eligible for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, 15304, 15307, and 15308, which collectively affirm that the activity involves minor repairs to existing infrastructure, does not result in significant environmental impact, and falls under regulatory oversight by the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). CalGEM serves as the lead agency for permit approval and exemption certification, with no federal acquisition or procurement structure in place, as the project is governed solely under state environmental and energy regulations. The contract is not a federally funded or FAR-regulated acquisition; no pricing, CLINs, payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing methods, contracting officer appointments, or federal compliance clauses are present. The project identifier 755901_CREH_UIC is used administratively, and the only formal procurement classification listed is “forecast,” with no solicitation number issued. All regulatory compliance is tied to state statutory references including PRC §§ 21084 and 21169 and CalGEM’s December 2023 Rework Exemptions Guidance. The well location is precisely defined by coordinates and land section, and acceptance is administratively tied to the project site under CalGEM’s oversight. No representations, certifications, technical specifications, inspection checklists, or performance incentives are documented beyond the CEQA exemption determination, and no federal contractor identifiers, socioeconomic status, or small business designations are referenced. Communication regarding the project is directed through CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, with no designated COR, COTR, or PCO identified.
