70 -- PETROLEUM PRODUCTION DECLINE CURVE ANALYSIS/RESERVE DETERMINATION AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SOFTWARE SOL N660-R98-1005 DUE 082098 POC Contracting Officer: Shannon Wondra (303) 236-6582 17. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation N660R981005, an RFP, incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through FAC 90-46. SIC 7372. Small Business Size $18 million annual receipts. Not set-aside for small business. The Bureau of Land Management manages the Federal and Indian Trust oil and gas onshore resources of the United States. Reservoir engineering and geologic studies are conducted to support oil and gas agreements, drainage determinations, diligent development of Indian Trust lands, reserve estimates and foreseeable development for environmental planning. The required software shall support three primary reservoir engineering functions in an integrated workstation environment: Production Decline Curve Analysis, Economic Analysis, and Data Management. This software shall be a commercial off the shelf (COTS) product. The Production Decline Curve Analysis module shall provide the capability to plot historical oil, gas and water production from oil and gas wells and perform comprehensive decline curve analysis and extrapolations therefrom. The software shall develop forecasts of future well performance (oil, gas and water production rates) and reserves by statistically fitting historical data to develop a trend line which is then extrapolated into the future. The Production Decline Curve Analysis module shall provide the capability to derive variables that are combinations of the basic production data such as the water/oil ratio and the gas/oil ratio. The software shall allow the user to plot and analyze dependent variables alone or in combination -- known as subordinate phase scheduling relying upon time or production volume limits to halt the projections. The Production Decline Curve Analysis module shall support database storage of numerous intermediate and final derived data attributes including monthly values for each product or variable for all cases and years including associated equations and constants. The software shall provide the user options of specifying x and y scales, type and range of data, color legend and time frames. The software shall support the rapid change of input variable settings and shall recompute forecasts based upon user specified algorithms or combinations of variables. This software module shall support the display of several variables for the same well being analyzed on the same plot such as oil and gas production simultaneously with the gas/oil ratio. The software shall support the capability to allow the user to graphically manipulate/change the historical performance curves and future projections using a mouse. A major requirement of the Production Decline Curve Analysis module shall be the capability to combine historical and forecasted oil or gas production for multiple wells to generate totals. Plots and graphs of each individual well's projections including the multiple well project totals shall be provided. Standard or canned written reports summarizing the reserves and decline curve parameters including detailed monthly production for each well's projection with the multiple well project totals are also required. This software module shall also provide a custom report writing facility so that the user can tailor reports as desired. The Economic Analysis module shall provide the capability to perform discounted cash flow economic modeling of oil and gas property profitability. Inputs to the economic model and complexities associated with these inputs include the following: product production levels, historical and future projections; product net pricing, historical and future projections; investment to develop and maintain production; the full spectrum of costs required to operate the property, including taxes; variable royalty rate schedules such as sliding or step scales. The Economic Analysis module shall determine net cash flow before and after taxes on a monthly basis for up to forty years. The economic model shall be able to handle vastly different investment situations ranging from a single oil well to multiple oil and gas wells drilled over different time frames combined to yield composite economics. A critical software requirement of the Economic Analysis module shall be the ability to quickly evaluate alternative sensitivities to each investment proposed by re-running the model with changes in the basic inputs. The Economic Analysis module shall also be capable of handling risked investments. Data entry/editing shall be on-screen interactive in nature with context sensitive data checking and help functions. Final results from the Economic Analysis module shall be a hardcopy report listing final profitability indicators and yearly summary of intermediate variables. Several standard form reports shall be required as well as a custom report writing facility to provide flexibility. The software shall provide the capability to generate graphs and plots of the basic inputs and their results such as the present worth profile, net cash flow and price schedules or combinations thereof. The Data Management module shall consolidate and provide storage for all Production Decline Curve Analyses, and Economic Analysis module data. Software employing the use of or migrating towards the Petrotechnical Open Software Corporation (POSC) EpiCentre or Public Petroleum Data Model (PPDM) data store standards is desired, but not mandatory. This software module shall allow the user to save and retrieve multiple versions of data input variables, resultant model attributes and associated graphics. The Data Management module shall provide the capability to allow the user to graphically navigate, browse lists of, select, open, edit and save data file records contained with the underlying data base. The Data Management module shall be capable of supporting either a client-server and/or stand-alone architecture. The Data Management module shall support well production data file loading in standard ASCII, Dwights Production and Discover loaders utilizing commercial online, diskette or CD-ROM-based file formats. The software shall be certified to run in the following hardware environment. Windows 95/NT Pentium-based Workstations and/or IBM RS/6000 AIX Version 4.2.1 Workstation network relying upon an IBM RS/6000 AIX wide area network. This contract shall be for any Bureau of Land Management office. Offers shall propose pricing for each subelement offered for each contract line item number (CLINS) listed: 1 -- Production Decline Curve Analysis -- Historical Production Plotting, Curve Fitting for Future Performance Forecasting, Combination Plots of Basic of Basic Production Data (e.g., water/oil ration, etc.), Intermediate/Final Derived Production Plot Data Attribute Storage, Interactive Performance Curve Graphic Manipulation/Change Capability, Multiple Well Historical/Forecast Production Analysis, Custom Report Writer Facility, 2 -- Economic Analysis -- Discounted Cash Flow Modeling, Before and After Tax Modeling, Single/Multiple Well Scenario Differing Time Frame Modeling, Production Curtailment Modeling, Iterative Model Run Data Storage, Custom Report Writer Facility, 3 -- Data Management -- Data Model Browser/Editor, Client/Server and/or Stand-alone Architecture, Commercial Production Data Loaders via Different Media (3.5 Disk, CD-ROM, POSC and/or PPDM Data Model Access/Integration (desired, but not mandatory),4 -- Training,5 -- Installation,6 -- Technical Support.
