Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI) in accordance with FAR 6.302 intends to negotiate a sole source procurement with Information Handling Services, 15 Inverness Way East Englewood, CO 80112-5776 for Petra Software Licenses. The availability of funds clause is applicable to this notice. The BLM provides opportunities for commercial development domestic energy resources on public and Indian lands through the leasing and production of oil and gas. Currently, the BLM manages and regulates over 22,000 Federal and 6,000 Indian oil and gas leases mostly throughout the West, but in other energy producing States as well. In determining the volume and value of oil and gas deposits that are contained on Federal and Indian lands, BLM geologists, engineers, and technical support staff conduct reservoir analyses of potential producing reservoirs. These analyses include conducting paying well determinations to determine whether there are economic resources to authorize leases, approve unitiziation and communitization agreements, conduct drainage and Indian diligence reviews, approve wells spacing units, and determine fair market value of parcels offered at Indian oil and gas lease sales. In order to keep pace with the level of drilling and development activities resulting from recent increases in both the price of oil and gas and the demand for energy resources, the use automated software will greatly enhance the BLM's ability to conduct reservoir analyses in a timely and efficient manner. This software must provide BLM geoscientists and engineers with extensive sets of tools to easily and rapidly resolve key characteristics of a reservoir or prospects by interactively defining geometry, extracting reservoir properties from logs, and making volumetric estimates from surface models. There are specific requirements that this software must have in the areas of oil and gas well Data Management, Information Extraction, and Transformation and Calculation of data and information from well logs in digitized or raster formats. Data Management This software must provide quality control tools that permit interactive editing of all data using built-in spreadsheets, graphical displays, and data tables. It should allow for easy manipulation of all well data, formation data, completions and tests, directional surveys, user-defined "z" values, well logs, and production and history data. "Zone" concept provides an efficient method of organizing reservoir properties based on subsurface intervals typically defined by formation or layer boundaries. Seismic database provides the basis for import, manipulation and display of 2D and 3D seismic locations and attribute values. Projects can contain an unlimited number of user-defined zones, each of which can contain an unlimited number of variables defined as either numeric "z" values, text data, or date field. Each numeric or date value can be commented with remarks. Formation tops include fields for measured depth, quality code, and remarks for each value. Subsea values are computed "on the fly" when needed. Tops may be edited as either measured or subsea TVD values. It must fully support deviated wells, including horizontal well boreholes and provides easy data entry and editing using a built-in spreadsheet with graphical previewer. Directional surveys may be imported from and exported to ASCII files. It must provide user-definable criteria for selecting wells from the project database to be used for further analysis. Users should have instant access to all information for a specific well on any display (i.e., map, cross section, or spreadsheet) by double-clicking the mouse on the well. The software can import well and production data from a variety of commercial vendor formats as well as user-specific spreadsheets and databases. Log data can be imported and exported using standard LAS and LIS formats. It shuld produce user-definable reports and export tabular data in a variety of ASCII formats. The software should output all graphical displays to any standard Windows printer or write a Windows metafile (WMF) for integration with standard presentation packages. Information Extraction This software must be capable of extracting reservoir properties from well log data including: gross, net, net-to-gross ratio, porosity feet, permeability feet, hydrocarbon feet, average porosity, average permeability, and average water saturation for multiple wells and zones simultaneously. Cross section display provides tools to interactively correlate formation tops and select high and low (i.e., sand/shale) log curve amplitude picks crucial for log normalization. It should be capable of accessing the monthly production data to compute cumulative production, running averages, and field-wide summaries. It must provide functions to easily isolate IP and formation test data by zone. Tightly integrates information gathered from these processes by storing results directly in the project database, making them immediately available for mapping or transformations. It must be capable of providing links to reservoir simulation through production stream history matching and geological surfaces. Transformations and Calculations The software's log transformation functions include industry standard and user defined equations for log analysis and normalization. It uses zone boundary definitions to compute isopach thickness for one or more zones. Isopach values may incorporate directional borehole corrections and even incorporate structural dip and azimuth to provide true stratigraphic thickness. Users are provided with definable equation evaluator for transforming zone "z" variables, such as oil-in-place. The software can construct gridded surface models of well, seismic, and hand-entered "z" data, while incorporating user interpretations using hand-drawn or digitized contours. It is capable of producing volumetic reports from any gridded surface over more or more polygonal areas. Since there are over 18 individual BLM Field Offices with oil and gas reservoir analyses responsibilities, this software must be user friendly, provide for simultaneous access by multiple users, and provide for frequent updates of well data, as the level of oil and gas development activities are expected to continue to increase in the near future. This software should also have the capability of being integrated with automated oil and gas economic evaluation software already in use by BLM. There will not be a solicitation along with this announcement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or a request for offers. No solicitation package is available
