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

Tidelands Oil Production Company, a subsidiary of California Resources Corporation, proposes to rework oil and gas well FR-108 (API #0403701291) located at Pier G of the Port of Long Beach within the Wilmington Oil Field. The project involves repairing the existing wellbore by adding perforations to the casing to address integrity issues and returning the well to its current operational use. The scope is limited to maintenance and repair of existing facilities without capacity expansion or surface disturbance beyond the existing well pad. The California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) has issued a Notice of Exemption, determining that the project is exempt from full environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This determination is based on categorical exemptions including Class 1 for existing facilities, Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction, and Class 4 for minor land alterations, as well as Classes 7 and 8 for the protection of natural resources. Regulatory oversight and final acceptance are managed by CalGEM, with the project adhering to Public Resources Code and CalGEM regulations. The project was posted as a forecast on August 6, 2025, though specific financial terms, performance timelines, and formal contract clauses were not provided.
