A -- NATIONAL OIL PROGRAM RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS Contact: Todd Martinez, Subcontract Administrator, 918/337-4385, Dr. Mike Madden, Program Manager, 918/337-4261. BDM-Oklahoma (BDM-OK), Management & Operating contract for DOE's National Oil and Related Programs under prime contract no. DE-AC22-94PC91008, is soliciting letters of interest from independent petroleum operators for participation in a cost-shared Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) #OKL-6029-01 to improve the transfer of technologies necessary to enhance the future management of new and existing oil reservoirs. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of ``reservoir management'' methods. The effective use of people, equipment, technology and money. For improving oil recovery and making current oil production operations more profitable. The project is especially directed toward independent operators who are increasingly being forced to abandon wells that are no longer commercially viable. BDM-Oklahoma is soliciting letters of interest from domestic production-oriented (not exploration) operators with fewer than 500 employees who operate domestic oil fields representing a significant resource or addressing a major technology need within one of the eight eligible Petroleum Technology Transfer Council (PTTC) regions: (1) the Central Gulf Region (Louisiana); (2) the Midwest Region (Illinois, Indiana, western Kentucky, and Michigan); (3) the South Mid-Continent Region (Oklahoma and Arkansas); (4) the North Mid-Continent Region (Kansas and Missouri); (5) the Rockies Region (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Idaho, and Nevada; (6) Texas; (7) the Southwest Region (New Mexico and Arizona); and (8) the West Coast Region (California, Alaska, Oregon, and Washington). Specifically encouraged are letters of interest from unit operators, Native American tribes, or several operators in the same field as a team. Respondents may enlist the assistance of universities, service companies, or consultants and must be willing to share equally in project expenses, primarily through labor or operational costs. Respondents will be expected to help transfer the project results through workshops and/or technical presentations. BDM-Oklahoma plans to negotiate a CRADA with the operator who best fits the project objectives. Under a CRADA, the operator and BDM-Oklahoma would jointly conduct the project. The CRADA will define the project objectives, roles and responsibilities of each party, the work to be done, the project schedule, confidentiality of information requirements, and the project budget. Project length is expected to be about a year, with a budget of approximately $500,000 (inclusive of cost-share), with equal contributions from BDM-Oklahoma and the operator. Overall CRADA selection will be based on the subjective assessment by BDM-Oklahoma of the ability of the proposed project to meet the program requirements stipulated in the program information package. Operators interested in working with BDM-Oklahoma on a multiple-party CRADA in reservoir management should contact Mr. Lance Cole at (918) 337-4565 or fax (918) 337-4365, to obtain a program information package, which describes the program in more detail and defines the information (text, project, and graphical data) that operators must submit with their letters of interest. To be considered for this year's program, all letters of interest must be received by BDM-Oklahoma, Inc., Attn: Todd Martinez, P.O. Box 2565, 220 N. Virginia, Bartlesville, OK 74005, by close-of-business, April 19, 1996. (040)
