SUBJECT: ECLISPE BLACK OIL SIMULATOR SOFTWAREThis is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in
accordance with the format in FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions, as
supplemented with additional information included in this notice. QUOTES
ARE
BEING REQUESTED. Responses shall reference Request for Quotations No.
DE-RQ26-08NT000760 the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA, for delivery to our site in
Morgantown, WV intends to purchase the following:
Black-Oil Simulator: The Black-oil simulator needs to use a three-component
model for reservoir situations in which oil reserves and oil recovery need
to
be known but the effects of fluid phase composition on flow behavior do not
need to be considered. The simulator needs to be capable of being upgraded
with
an enhanced coal bed methane simulator in the future. The simulator also
has to
have the ability to be coupled with geomechanical and flow simulations.
The Black-Oil simulator should be capable of Up to four components. The
black-oil model should assume that the reservoir fluids consist of three
components (water, oil, and gas) in a three-phase system (liquid, gas, and
gas
in solution), with components miscible in all proportions. Four components
should also be considered for modeling reservoir recovery mechanisms when
injected fluids are miscible with hydrocarbons in the reservoir.
The simulator needs to be a fully implicit three-phase 3D simulation. The
black-oil simulation software needs to be capable of modeling extensive
well
controls and support efficient field operations planning, including water
and
miscible-solvent gas injection.
The simulator must be compatible with the latest versions of PETREL so we
can
more easily collaborate with current university and industrial partners.
Compositional Simulator: A compositional simulator needs to be capable of
studying condensates or volatile crude oils, gas injection programs, and
secondary recovery studies.
The Compositional simulator should be capable of modeling gas injection,
miscible flooding, carbon dioxide flooding. It should also be able to
handle
situations where the injection gas is soluble in both oil and water thick
reservoirs with a compositional gradient due to gravity reservoirs, with
fluid
compositions near the bubblepoint, high-pressure high-temperature
reservoirs,
and naturally-fractured reservoirs.
The simulator must be compatible with the latest versions of PETREL so we
can
more easily collaborate with current university and industrial partners.
Local Grid Refinement add-on software option: The local grid refinement
option
must allow for enhanced grid definition near wells and faults.The grid
refinement option should allow three dimensional local models to be radial,
unstructured, or Cartesian coordinates. When the local models are in two
dimensions, the grid refinement should allow for radial or unstructured
coordinates. Local models should be allowed to have more layers than the
global
model, with the transmissibilities between the local models and the global
model computed automatically.The grid-coarsening options should allow you
to
reduce simulation cycle time and maintain precision by resampling cells in
regions of the field where accuracy is not as critical while maintaining
the
necessary precision where required.
Coalbed Methane Add-on module: The coalbed methane add on should be able to
account for multiple wellbore developments. It should be able to quantify
the
value of the zonal isolation between production areas. Is should be able to
identify the value of hydraulic treatments and horizontal wells within the
coal
bed. The module should be able to examine complex dual porosity nature of
the
coalbed via a modified Warren and Root model.
CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery and Storage simulator Module that is capable of
simulating migration of CO2 within an oil field or brine-filled formation,
taking into account the solubility of the CO2 within the brine, as well as
water within the CO2 (and the associated precipitation of salt from the
evaporated brine).
DELIVERY: FOB Destination is required (all freight included). The
provisions
at 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items (JAN 1999) does not apply to this
acquisition. Instead, the following information will be used for
evaluation of
offerors: An award shall be made to the responsible offeror submitting a
technically acceptable quote and offering the lowest evaluated price.
Evaluation is based on best value including cost and ability to meet stated
requirements above. Offerors shall submit descriptive literature and
drawings
detailing features, technical capabilities and warranty data. Technical
acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the
information submitted response to this provision as it compares to the
minimum
characteristics provided above. Therefore, it is essential that offerors
provide sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for
the
Government evaluation team to make an adequate technical assessment of the
quote as meeting technical acceptability. Price shall be the deciding
factor
among technically acceptable quotes. The North American Industry
Classification (NIAC) is 511210. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHALL SUBMIT
OFFERS
WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: Federal Tax Identification (TIN); Dun &;
Bradstreet Number (DUNS); and remit to address if different. A Firm Fixed
Priced Purchase Order shall be issued using the Simplified Acquisition
Procedures FAR Part 13. All offers are due no later than 5:30 p.m. Eastern
Time Zone on August 8, 2008. All quotes must be E-mailed to
Robert.Mohn@netl.doe.gov and Grant.Bromhal@netl.doe.gov. All technical
questions should be directed to the Technical Representatives Mr. Grant
Bromhal - Phone 304-285-4688.
