NOI Permit Rework FRA-26

Tidelands Oil Production Co. has been granted regulatory approval by the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to rework existing waterflood well FRA-26, identified by API number 0403701098, located on Pier G within the Wilmington Oil Field. The scope of work involves casing repair within the existing wellbore, confined strictly to established oil and gas well cellars, with no expansion of surface footprint or increase in production capacity. This activity qualifies under CalGEM’s Group B rework exemptions as outlined in its December 2023 guidance and is supported by categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8, due to its minimal environmental impact. All operations occur within a previously developed oil production facility that does not support wildlife or native botanical species, and no adverse effects on wildlife are anticipated. The work is subject to inspection and acceptance at the project site by CalGEM, with compliance required under state regulations including 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, 15304, and 1684.1, as well as provisions of the Hazardous Waste Control Law and SB 1137 health protection zone requirements. The project is administered as a regulatory permit under state environmental law rather than a federal procurement contract; as such, there are no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, contract types, pricing data, payment details, invoicing methods, or socioeconomic representations applicable. No contract value, CLINs, or financial terms have been specified, and no traditional contracting elements such as a contracting officer, COR/COTR, or accounting data have been provided. The sole point of contact for administrative matters is CalGEM’s Southern District office in Long Beach, with the project posted on August 12, 2025, and a submission deadline of August 7, 2025. Electronic submissions may be sent via email, while the full project documentation is accessible through CalGEM’s CEQA portal. The project's legal location is in Section 02, Township 05S, Range 13W, B&M SB, with precise coordinates at latitude 33.76103592 and longitude -118.20526123. The wellhead
