The project involves reworking the existing cyclic steam well C585ZR-29 with API number 0403066159 located in the South Belridge Oil Field in Kern County, California. The activity is limited to minor alterations on an established dirt pad, including casing repair, perforation, installation or removal of downhole equipment such as cement plugs and packers, and other wellbore interventions designed to restore operational integrity without expanding surface footprint or altering the well’s classification. Approval for this rework is being sought from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which has determined the project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) including Class 1 for operation and maintenance of existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction within existing wellbores, and Class 4 for minor land alterations with negligible environmental impact. No federal contract clauses or procurement specifications under the Federal Acquisition Regulation are applicable, as the process is governed entirely by state regulatory frameworks and environmental compliance requirements under 14 CCR §§15301, 15302, 15304, and related Public Resources Code sections. The primary deliverable is CalGEM’s issuance of permit approval, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the well site and finalized administratively by CalGEM in Bakersfield. There is no established contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or financial data, and no federal identification codes such as UEI or CAGE have been provided. Contact for inquiries is through CalGEM’s central office in Bakersfield, with Jeffrey Young of Aera Energy listed as the agent and Catherine Calantas as the primary point of contact. The project is announced as a forecast with no solicitation number or formal submission deadline, indicating it is an environmental regulatory action rather than a competitive procurement.
