California Resources Production Corporation is authorized to rework the existing Pleito Ranch PR 46-25 oil and gas well, identified by API number 0403062838, located in Kern County, California, on private surface with private mineral rights. The rework involves repairing casing damage and implementing a water shut-off to restore well integrity, with no expansion of production capacity or surface footprint. The project is classified under Group A of CalGEM’s December 2023 rework exemptions guidance and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Class 1 for existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction, and Class 4 for minor land alterations, all as defined in 14 CCR § 15301, § 15302, and § 15304. The work is anticipated to require 7 to 10 days for completion and will be performed at a precisely located site in Section 25, Township 11 North, Range 21 West, Base of San Bernardino. Inspection and operational acceptance are conducted on-site by the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division, which serves as the lead regulatory authority and has determined that no unusual circumstances or cumulative environmental impacts would disqualify the project from exemption. The documentation is a regulatory exemption notice rather than a formal procurement contract, with no pricing data, contract clauses, payment details, or federal acquisition regulation provisions applicable. No UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic certifications, personnel requirements, contract options, or special clauses are included, as the action is solely a permitting decision under state environmental law. Public access to supporting materials is可通过 CalGEM’s office in Bakersfield or the State Clearinghouse.
