The Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management is seeking to have a 5’ high by 3’ wide 3D hands off column-like working model of the 4 styles of wells found in Ohio and the rock formations they are dug through. The model should be 3’ wide to accommodate the equipment for the well and scenery. On top of the 5’ rock formation, there should be about another 1’ of space allocated for the well surface equipment and scenery. The display will be placed on a 1’ black pedestal smooth sided base that will support the display with a plexiglass style enclosure over top. The display should be able to be taken apart in 2-3 sections to allow for easy movement between events. Total weight should be no more than 100 pounds. The ability to store within cases during transport would be a nice option.
