- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), intends to competitively award a Hybrid type of contract with Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) line item for the base period or Phase 1 of the project described below and a Time and Materials (T&M) type line item for Option Period 1 or Phase 2 of the project described below, as a result of this notice. There are no set aside restrictions. The BSEE, Acquisition Operations Branch, is the contracting office for this procurement and the resulting contract administration. All potential Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov in order to receive Government awards. The Government anticipated effort for the base period is about 4,200 hours and for Option Period 1 effort to be around 2,400 man-hours. The applicable NAICS Code is 541330, Petroleum Engineering Services. The period of performance of the resultant contract is expected to be 36 months from the date of award. The BSEE is seeking contractors support for determining and testing of new production from an old field in the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Region (POCSR). The BSEE analyzed production and development statistics from 1968 through 2013 looking at 14 oil and gas fields encompassing 26 reservoirs. The oil and gas production data showed that rates have been declining for the past 15 years. Production peaked in 1998 at 230,000 barrels per day and by 2013 the production rate had declined to 40,000 barrels per day. Federal regulations at 30 CFR 250.1165 require Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lessees to promptly initiate enhanced oil and gas recovery (EOR) operations for all reservoirs where operations would result in an increase in ultimate recovery of oil or gas under sound engineering and economic principles. We have determined that a study of Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (POCS) sandstone reservoirs wherein these reservoirs are objectively evaluated for EOR opportunities followed by subsequent testing (if appropriate) of one or more of the reservoirs as detailed below has the potential to increase the ultimate recovery of oil and gas on the POCS as well as other areas of the OCS by 5%-40% of stock tank original oil in place (STOOIP) if successful. The study shall be conducted in two phases with the first phase (base period of performance) a reservoir characterization study of POCS sandstone reservoirs and development of a screening methodology. The first phase will prioritize the reservoirs according to likelihood of success based on reservoir characteristics, EOR method, and the economics of applying the EOR technology at the testing stage and into full field implementation. The results will be presented to prioritized operators for participation in the testing phase of the study. The second phase of the study involves the testing, either by core analysis or a pilot test, of the selected reservoir. Under this effort, the contractor shall conduct a detailed characterization study of POCS sandstone reservoirs in the Beta, Santa Clara, Dos Cuadras, Sockeye, and Carpinteria fields. The contractor will develop a screening tool for EOR applicability for a variety of EOR techniques. Using the field properties determined in the characterization study and the developed screening tool, the contractor will determine which reservoirs could benefit from EOR implementation, and rank them according to their cost-benefit. If the Option period is exercised, the Contractor shall work with the cooperating operator and BSEE to perform the chosen reservoir/EOR technique(s) test and document the results to the BSEE upon completion. HOW TO COMPETE FOR THIS CONTRACT: If you are interested in participating in this competition, please send your organizations name, business size status under the applicable NAICs code, point of contact, address, telephone number, email address and DUNS Number via email to the Contracting Officer, Sagar S. Damania, Sagar.Damania@bsee.gov at the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time April 28, 2014. The estimated solicitation release date is April 30, 2014. The Offeror shall reference Solicitation No. E14PS00081 on all correspondence. Inquiries must be submitted in writing to the email address referenced above. Telephone inquiries are strongly discouraged. Those organizations expressing an interest in this opportunity will receive a copy of the complete solicitation upon issuance.
