Aera Energy LLC proposes to rework one existing oil and gas well, identified as API 0401926313 (Call S32CL-3-3I), located in the Coalinga Oil Field within Fresno County, California. The project involves the sidetrack or replacement of the existing wellbore to recover lost production and continue resource development. All work will be performed on an existing pad within an industrial area, ensuring that the sidetracked well maintains substantially the same purpose and capacity as the original without expanding the facility or requiring additional construction. The project is subject to permit approval from the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). It has been granted a Notice of Exemption from full California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, citing statutory and categorical exemptions for existing facilities, replacement or reconstruction of structures on the same site, and minor alterations to land with negligible permanent effects. The project is classified under NAICS code 213112 and is managed through CalGEM's central office.
