THUMS D-432 Well Sidetrack Program at Island Freeman

THUMS Long Beach Co. is undertaking a sidetrack and rework operation on existing well D-432 in the Wilmington Oil Field, located offshore Los Angeles, California, using the existing wellhead at Island Freeman without expanding or installing new surface facilities. The project is authorized under California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) Permit #7056579 and is subject to categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Classes 1, 2, and 4, which recognize the activity as a minor alteration to an existing facility with negligible environmental impact. The well’s API number is 0423722262, and the work will focus solely on restoring or enhancing production by reconstructing the wellbore and casing within the established footprint, making no changes to infrastructure or land use. The project does not involve competitive procurement, funding allotments, or contractual pricing structures, as it is a regulatory permitting action rather than a federally funded acquisition; therefore, no contract clauses, line items, cost estimates, payment terms, or evaluation factors are applicable under federal acquisition regulations. The lead agency overseeing compliance and issuing final approval is CalGEM, with primary point of contact Hafiz Ali Mohammed, Associate Oil and Gas Engineer, reachable at the Long Beach office. The project is positioned as a forecast with a posted date of July 14, 2026, and no formal bid or proposal submission process is involved, as the activity falls under administrative environmental review rather than competitive contracting.
