825666_0100006_SoCalGas_UGSThe project involves inspecting and remediating the integrity of the Porter 69D well, identified by API number 0403724130, as part of the Storage Integrity Management Program to ensure safe and reliable underground storage operations. The work begins with a comprehensive review of the well’s historical data, directional surveys, and inspection logs to assess its current configuration, including casing dimensions, perforations, liners, and any existing restrictions. Based on this analysis, a remediation plan is developed that includes removing isolation completion equipment, cleaning the wellbore to total depth, conducting punch and inject operations, and potentially expanding the casing—all subject to approval by the California Geological Energy Management Division. Following these interventions, integrity tests will be performed to verify the well's structural soundness, after which new completion tubing will be installed for flow-only service. The contract is forecasted under the identifier 825666_0100006_SoCalGas_UGS and is associated with the California Department of Conservation, with the primary point of contact being Maggie Harrington, Analyst II, reachable through ceqa@conservation.ca.gov or 916-445-9686. Juan Cadavid Ortiz of SoCalGas serves as the submitter and can be contacted at jcadavidortiz@socalgas.com or 661-410-9314. The work is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, California, with the contract posted on July 13, 2026, and is part of broader efforts to maintain the safety and efficiency of natural gas storage infrastructure under regulatory oversight.
