- Description
- The Bureau of Land Management intends to make an award under Commercial Items, FAR Part 12 to Information Handling Service (IHS) 15 Inverness Way E, Englewood, Colorado 80112-5776 under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) provides opportunities for commercial development of domestic energy resources on public and Indian lands through the leasing and production of oil and gas. Currently, the BLM manages and regulates over 24,000 Federal and 7,000 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. In order to meet the demand for and access to Federal and Indian oil and gas reservoir, BLM must have unlimited access to publically-available raster logs. Raster logs should be indexed to a vendors well header data and made available as an annual subscription for Texas Railroad Districts1-4 (a minimum of approximately 295,000 raster logs currently available to date); North Louisiana (a minimum of approximately 87,000 raster logs currently available to date), South Louisiana (a minimum of approximately 75,000 raster logs currently available to date) and the Rocky Mountains States of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming ( a total minimum of approximately 453,000 raster logs currently available to date) -making annual log budgeting easy. Raster logs should also be forthcoming for New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah. Logs are updated daily Exploration and exploitation geologists may instantly access logs on a "whenever" basis to support prospect studies or plans for drilling. Log availability is easy to see via links in Well CDs and through an online system, so that the user may quickly see what logs are available for the user, as he goes. Query results will be populated into an online log net system automatically so that the user may quickly download the logs needed. Raster Logs must be enhanced through the process of depth registration. This process involves scaling the vertical axis of the log while maintaining the familiar appearance of a paper log. Every row of pixels, therefore, is calibrated with depth. This allows the user to manipulate well logs onscreen with speed and flexibility, and use them in PC-based analysis in ways similar to digital log equivalents, but at a fraction of the cost. Compatibility: Raster logs must be easy to import into geoscience applications such as PETRA, GeoGraphix and KINGDOM (available in KINGDOM version 8.1). Logs may also be printed using free electronic log software if interpretation software is not being used. Log software may be down loaded from an electronic log system to view and print raster logs. Numerous Benefits: Raster logs, routinely used by geologists, geophysicists and engineers in a host of applications from rank exploration to tertiary recovery is normally purchased on an as-needed basis, thus interrupting a geoscientist's workflow with the need to acquire new data and justify the cost. This service should provide access to raster logs in the users study area, without having to stop, search for and purchase them. This means the user can build maps and cross sections faster, with less hassle and more efficiency. The acquisition will consist of Unlimited Raster Logs (05/01/2008 - 05/01/2009) for the Rocky Mountains, North Louisiana, South Louisiana, Texas Districts 1-4 and Raster Log Hard Drive Delivery in PETRA Format. The applicable NAICS code is 519190. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will consider all responses received by 12:00pm MST, Wednesday, April 16, 2007. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed order based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
