SHWU B-34 (03710239) Rework

Signal Hill Petroleum, Inc. is proceeding with the partial abandonment of well SHWU B-34 (API #03710239) located in the Long Beach Oil Field within Los Angeles County, California. The project involves using a workover rig and vendor equipment to plug back and permanently seal the lower portion of the wellbore in full compliance with current regulatory standards set by the California Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM). Operations are confined to the existing well site, with no vegetation disturbance or anticipated environmental impact, and the entire process is expected to take approximately two weeks. All temporary equipment, including transportation vehicles and the rig, will be mobilized and demobilized via public and private roadways while adhering to public safety and environmental protection protocols. The company confirms its fleet and service vehicles meet all applicable air quality regulations under CARB and the South Coast AQMD and participate in the California Highway Patrol BITs program. The activity qualifies for CEQA categorical exemptions under Classes 1, 2, and 4, which support the determination that the project involves minor alterations to existing facilities without significant environmental consequences. Regulatory compliance and operational execution are overseen by CalGEM, which will formally approve the permit for this abandonment work. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at the well location, with the contractor responsible for ensuring adherence to CalGEM well abandonment standards, including proper cementing and casing practices outlined in 14 CCR § 1684.1 and related provisions. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, payment details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses associated with this action, as it is a regulatory permitting and environmental exemption process rather than a procurement contract under federal guidelines. No federal certifications, unique entity identifiers, socioeconomic classifications, or invoicing systems are referenced, and the project does not involve competitive bidding or evaluation factors typical of federal acquisitions. The notice of exemption was issued on November 17, 2025, and submissions related to this environmental review must be made through the CEQAnet portal or to the CalGEM CEQA Program office in Sacramento, with primary contact information available via the designated associate oil and gas engineer.
