Aera Energy LLC has been granted regulatory approval by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division to rework a single existing oil and gas well, API #0401921686, known as CMS 442, located in the Coalinga Oil Field in Fresno County, California. The work involves a sidetrack operation within the existing well pad to restore lost production without expanding the facility footprint or increasing overall output, qualifying the project for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which cover maintenance, replacement, and minor land alterations in previously developed areas. The project site is situated at Section 31, T.19S, R.15E, B&M: MD with coordinates LAT: 36.22839737, LONG: -120.37969208, and all activities are confined to the existing disturbed area of the densely developed oil field. Regulatory oversight is managed by CalGEM, which serves as the approving authority, and compliance is verified through adherence to the CEQA exemptions and applicable state regulations under 14 CCR § 1684.1 and § 1684.2. No formal contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or procurement evaluation criteria were specified in the documentation, as this is an environmental permitting action rather than a solicitation or procurement contract. The project is forecasted and certified under the identifier "763306_Aera_UIC," with no solicitation number, amendments, contract type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses applicable. Key contacts include CalGEM Central at calgemcentral@conservation.ca.gov and Aera’s agent, Jeffrey Young, at aeracalgemagent@aeraenergy.com, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procuring Contracting Officer is named. There are no federal representations, financial codes, or logistical requirements included, as the documentation reflects a state-level regulatory determination focused solely on environmental compliance for a routine well rework operation.
