Event Description	Licensee reported to Radiologic Health Branch-Granada Hills (RHB-GH) that on 1/14/05 two well-logging sealed sources became stuck in a well bore at a depth below 5,800 feet. The sources involved are a 1.7 Curie Cs-137, GSR-J, source and a 16 Curie Am-241/Be, NSR-F, source. For the last week the 'fishing' company, Baker Hughes, has been attempting to retrieve the sources. They will continue to do so over the weekend but, if [this is] not successful, the sources will be deemed irretrievable. This occurred on the 'Oxy Elk Hills' well site, about 10-15 miles northeast of Taft, CA, North of Hwy 119. The well is designated '16A-32SRD1.' The rig is designated 'Nabors 472.' If deemed irretrievable the well will likely be sealed in place with a cement plug. Licensee will provide update after weekend and follow with written report. * * UPDATE FROM SALGADO TO RIPLEY 1355 ET 01/24/05 VIA FACSIMILE * * * The correct well designation is 316A-32S RD-1.
