AI Contract Overview

CalNRG Operating, LLC is proposing to rework the McGrath 5 1013 well, API number 04-111-00817, located in the Montalvo West Oil Field in Ventura County, California. The well, originally drilled and completed as a producer in 1955, remains active and is situated on an existing, well-maintained pad with an established access road. The rework will require no new land disturbance, no modification to existing infrastructure, and no new facilities. The work is expected to take 10 to 15 days and will use produced water from existing lines for all operational needs, with only fresh water transported in for cement blending. The project occurs within a designated Coastal Zone and is classified as environmentally sensitive but lies entirely within the boundaries of an established oil field with no surrounding vegetation or natural habitats at risk. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division, has determined that the project qualifies for categorical exemptions under state environmental review law, as no unusual circumstances or cumulative impacts are present that would suggest a significant environmental effect. The well has been operating in compliance with Senate Bill 1137 provisions since June 2024 and will continue to do so. There will be no increase in the number or capacity of flowlines, no vegetation disturbance, and no new surface facilities. The permitting action is confined to a single well rework and does not involve expansion or operational changes beyond rework activities. Contact for the project is provided through the California Department of Conservation and CalNRG’s designated agent, with the project listed under Contract ID 815015 and posted on the CEQA Net portal on June 12, 2026.

Full Description

Proposed Project: CalNRG proposes to rework McGrath 5 1013 (04-111-00817) located in the Montalvo West Oil Field in Ventura County, California. This well was drilled and completed as a producer in 1955 and is currently active. The well is located within an established oilfield boundary, on a well-maintained existing well pad, and a well-maintained access road. Proposed project execution will require no new disturbance. No changes to the existing infrastructure will take place. The job will require approximately 10 to 15 days to complete. Produced water will be utilized for all well work by way of existing lines from the facilities to the well and fresh water will be transported in for cement blending. No new facilities are needed. Environmental Setting: Established oil field. Environmentally sensitive as they meet the definition of being within the Coastal Zone, or less than 1000 yards from the ocean. The surrounding land use around the proposed project consists of a developed oil field. Potential Environmental Impacts: Operation of the wells has been subject to all provisions of Senate Bill 1137 for existing wells located within designated health protection zones since June 2024 and would continue to operate in accordance with these regulations. Therefore, no unusual circumstances exist that would present a reasonable possibility of significant environmental effects. No vegetation will be disturbed by this project. There will be no increase in either the number or the capacity of flowlines. The proposed project consists of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) approving 1 permit for CalNRG Operating, LLC to rework the well(s) listed below, in the West Montalvo Oil Field. API #: 0411100817 Well Name: McGrath 5 1013 Exceptions to Exemptions: CalGEM further finds that there are no exceptions to the application of the categorical exemptions (PRC § 21084; 14 CCR § 15300.2) referenced above. For example, there is no substantial evidence that there are any unusual circumstances associated with the proposed project that create a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment, and that there are no significant cumulative impacts resulting from successive projects of the same type in the same place. Therefore, reliance on the exemptions is appropriate.
