Project Site(s) are located near the unincorporated area of Bakersfield in Kern County, California consisting of approximately 5.98 acres in the subject property. The subject property is located in a Project Area that includes private surface ownership and associated leases, as well as private mineral ownership and leases. The proposed Project Area consists of a fully operational active oil field named Kern Front Oil Field (KFOF). The subject wells are among approximately 1,137 other wells within the KFOF. The subject property is located on a relatively hilly, open area in a dry region of the southern San Joaquin Valley. The topography of the area is typically comprised of low-lying hills, agricultural fields, and sparse vegetation, surrounded by fully industrial oil and gas development. The primary work objective is to sidetrack thirteen (13) existing well(s). This work is designed to support continuation of oil and gas resource development in the area. The wells are not being sidetracked (i) for abandonment purposes only or (ii) in connection with an enforcement order to mitigate or prevent environmental damage or surface expression. The potential disturbance footprint would encompass an existing 20,000 square foot (100 ft x 200 ft) well pad per well. The entirety of this work would be located in an area of existing disturbance and no change in the surface topography (such as drainage patterns) would result. There will be no expansion of the existing well pads, roads, staging areas, or pipelines. No new grading would occur in any undisturbed areas. No new road construction or expansions would be required for the proposed project. Routine maintenance activities at the site would include removal of weeds and other ruderal vegetation for fire control and road maintenance. The work will commence after CalGEM permit approval. The time of year the work would occur is dependent on the date of final CalGEM permit approval. For a single well, it is expected to take approximately 17 operational days to complete all construction phases. The project site is located within the Kern Front Hills Oilfield in unincorporated Kern County, in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Kern Front Oilfield is a large southwest dipping homo-clinal structure bounded by the Kern Front Fault to the east. It contains two major producing units, the Etchegoin and the Chanac Formations. Both zones are composed of sand, with interbedded silts and clays. Many small southwest-trending faults run across the field. The proposed project consists of the California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) approving 13 permits for California Resources Production Corporation to perform sidetrack work on the wells listed below, in the Kern Front Oil Field.
