CalNRG Operating, LLC is proposing to rework the McGrath 5 814 well (API 04-111-00804) located in the West Montalvo Oil Field in Ventura County, California, a well originally drilled and completed as a producer in 1962 and currently active. The project involves reconstructing the casing and wellbore with minor alterations that result in negligible expansion of use, all while requiring no new ground disturbance, no changes to existing infrastructure, no vegetation removal, and no expansion of the well pad or access road, which are already well-maintained. The work will be performed using produced water from existing facility lines for well operations and fresh water transported in solely for cement blending, with no new facilities or flowlines required. The entire project is expected to take between 10 and 15 days to complete and is situated within an established oil field that is environmentally sensitive due to its proximity to the coastal zone, though it lies outside the High Potential Zone as defined by Senate Bill 1137. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division, has issued a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, determining that the project presents no reasonable possibility of significant environmental impact. The procurement is listed as a forecast under NAICS Code 213111, with the California Department of Conservation identified as the procuring agency and the work to be performed at the well site in Ventura. Point of contact for the agency is David C Alcock, Associate Oil and Gas Engineer, while Ariel Barbey of CalNRG serves as the regulatory liaison. No pricing, contracting clauses, evaluation factors, or administrative details are included in the available documentation beyond the environmental exemption and forecast metadata.
