Rework to Repair Well Casing on Pier A (Port of Long Beach) within Tidelands Operating Area

Tidelands Oil Production Company is undertaking a well rework operation to repair the casing of existing oil and gas well 2AT-024, located in the Wilmington Oil Field at Pier A of the Port of Long Beach, California. The sole objective of the project is to restore the well’s structural integrity by cementing damaged sections of the wellbore casing, with no expansion of capacity, new construction, or surface modifications planned. The work is conducted within an established industrial area and is designed to return the well to its prior operational state without altering its function or production potential. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), has approved this activity under state environmental regulations, determining it qualifies for multiple California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions, including those for existing facilities and replacement or reconstruction of minor structures, due to its minimal environmental impact. The project is permitted under API number 0403723566 and is physically situated at coordinates 33.77032089 latitude and -118.24370575 longitude within Section 04, Township 5S, Range 13W, B&M San Bernardino. All activities, inspections, and acceptance occur at the well site itself, with no relocation or delivery components involved. CalGEM serves as the regulatory authority overseeing compliance with state standards such as 14 CCR §§ 15301, 15302, 1684.1, and 1684.2, as well as Public Resources Code § 3280(b) for health protection zones. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, pricing data, payment instructions, invoicing systems, contracting officer details, or solicitation numbers are part of this authorization, as it is a state-regulated environmental permit rather than a competitive federal procurement. The contractor is identified as Tidelands Oil Production Company, a subsidiary of California Resources Corporation, with Gregory S. Berg, Associate Oil and Gas Engineer, listed as the primary point of contact for CalGEM. The project was formally certified on August 5, 2025, and no performance timeline, cost estimates, or commercial terms have been disclosed.
