- SUBJECT: DEVELOP ELECTRONIC CASING TALLY SOFTWARE FOR POCKET PC. DESC: The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA intends to award a purchase order on a sole-source basis to Maurer Technology Inc., Houston, TX to complete the following statement of work. STATEMENT OF WORK: "DEVELOP ELECTRONIC CASING TALLY SOFTWARE FOR POCKET PC". Project Objective - The objective for this project is to develop a casing tally sheet program (PPCTally) for Pocket PCS. The data will be entered into the Pocket PC at the pipe rack, yard or on the rig floor. The user can then select or "drag and drop" the joint data into the tally sheet when running into or out of the hole. Task 1 - Select Tally Sheets. A standard casing tally sheet will be selected to put onto Pocket PCS. Task 2 - Develop Pocket PC Electronic Tally Sheet. A Pocket PC tally sheet will be developed for conventional rig floor operations where the drilling crew measures the length of each joint of casing on the pipe rack or as the joints are pulled up to the rig floor. PPCTALLEY will contain three operational windows: *Data Entry window *Inventory "Drag and Drop" operational window and *Tally Sheet The program will be developed using visual basic or a web based programming language to facilitate INTERNET or web based downloading. This will allow for smaller memory allocation and size for slower download baud rates. Task 2.1 - Develop Data Entry Window: This window will be the user interface where actual joint numbers and lengths are input into the inventory system and tally sheet. The window will be developed using a "pop up" data entry system developed for Pocket PC's. This pop up screen resembles a calculator with large "buttons" to allow ease of data input. Options for English and metric measurements will be included. A default button will be in this window to allow for a whole number to be carried into the data entry (i.e., 20, 30, or 40) so that this number does not have to be repeated during every entry. The user would then input the decimal part of the measurement, saving time and money. Task 2.2 - Inventory "Drag and Drop" Window: This window will allow the user to select or remove casing joints for input into the tally sheet. Total length in inventory, average joint length, and current joint number and length are shown on this screen. Additionally, the user can select the "view tally sheet" and see the sheet at any time while in this window. A maximum of 5-10 joints of pipe will be shown on this screen to allow ease of selection with the smaller screens typical of a pocket PC. The user can also sort the inventory by length, joint or sequence number in this window. Task 2.3 - Tally Sheet Window: This window will display the tally sheet and show sequence number, joint number, length, and average joint length. This window will contain the header information and will be suitable for printing. The tally sheet, once constructed from the inventory window, will contain an option to be saved in an ASCII format. Once in an ASCII format file the tally sheet can then be transferred to a PC (either laptop or desktop) for use with Microsoft Excel. Task 3 - Provide INTERNET Down-Loadable Program: Write a program that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) can host on its in-house computer that will allow drilling engineers and rig personnel worldwide to download the tally sheet into Pocket PCs. Development Sequence. 1. Interface Design - Three forms (interfaces) will be included: *Data Entry Inventory *Number Keyboard and *Tally Sheet. 2. Coding and Debugging. 3. Testing. 4. Security Check. 5. Downloading Procedure. 6. Help and User's Manual. Requirement: This utility of the software has to be based on the type of programming developed for the DEA (Drilling Engineering Association) projects 44, 67, and 101. The utility of these programs was enhanced by and based on the significant field input received from industry. Additional detail on these projects can be found on the DEA website at www.dea.main.com. END OF SOW This request is considered to be sole source to Maurer Technology Inc, Houston, TX because their personnel are uniquely qualified to perform the required tasks and the following reasons: Maurer Technology Inc have the following unique capabilities - (1) Extensive prior experience with development of similar programs from the DOE/NETL in association with the Drilling Engineering Association; (2) Experience in development of complementary programs such as the "Driller's Toolkit" (see article in IADC's Drilling Contractors Magazine, September/October, 2001) for engineering field use. This request is considered to be sole source to Maurer Technology Inc. Therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. This award shall be made using simplified acquisition procedures. Requests for solicitation will be considered non-responsive. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS. For technical questions please contact the Technical Representative Ms. Virginia Weyland at 918-699-2041. Request for contract information should be addressed to Mr. Robert L. Mohn, FAX 412-892-6216 and e-mail mohn@netl.doe.gov.
