Berry Petroleum Company LLC is proposing to rework a single existing steamflood injector well, API #0403066975, known as Hill 631X, located in Section 19, Township 28 South, Range 21 East, Bakersfield and Merced Meridian, within the South Belridge Oil Field in Kern County, California. The scope of work involves minor downhole modifications such as perforating, repairing or replacing casing components, installing or removing cement plugs and packers, and other maintenance activities essential to sustain existing operations without expanding surface infrastructure or altering the previously approved use of the well. The project is subject to regulatory review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with CalGEM determining that it qualifies for categorical exemptions under 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, and 15304, as it involves the maintenance and minor alteration of existing facilities without significant environmental impact. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division, serves as the permitting authority and the sole contracting entity; no federal acquisition regulations or clauses apply as this is a state-regulated environmental permitting action, not a federal procurement. The place of performance is the well site itself, with inspection and acceptance tied to regulatory approval by CalGEM rather than a formal contract inspection process. No contract value, pricing, delivery schedule, or payment terms are specified, and there is no indication of federal accounting codes, invoicing mechanisms, or contracting officer representation. The applicant is identified only as Berry Petroleum Company LLC without a disclosed Unique Entity ID or socioeconomic status, and no formal proposal requirements, submission deadlines, or evaluation criteria are outlined, reflecting that this is an environmental notification and permitting process rather than a competitive solicitation. Contact for the permitting process is through CalGEM Central at 11000 River Run Boulevard, Bakersfield, CA 93311, with email and phone provided for correspondence.
