STATEMENT OF WORK: INTRODUCTION: GIT III is a Minerals Management Service (MMS) initiative to continue and extend the use of Geological Interpretive Tools (GIT). GIT are commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) geoscience, geophysical and engineering software applications focused in Petroleum Exploration and Production analysis. The MMS, a bureau in the U.S. Department of the Interior, is the federal agency that manages the nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The agency includes two major programs, Offshore Minerals Management (OMM) and Minerals Revenue Management. OMM, which manages the mineral resources on the OCS, comprises three regions: Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific. GIT is a critical technology for OMM. GIT provides the ability to automate mission critical assessments, including: Fair value determinations, field determinations, reserves inventory, G&G permits, chemosynthetics and gas hydrates analysis, royalty relief, unitization, reservoir analysis conservation, rate control volumetrics determination, shallow hazards and environmental assessments. GIT ensures that the MMS has the capability perform sophisticated analysis of 3-D seismic, depth migrated data and other highly technical data using state-of-the-art interpretation techniques and technologies similar to those employed by the Petroleum Industry. The MMS must keep pace with the changing technology used by industry to ensure proper decisions for mission critical functions which allows for timely lease sale evaluations which industry expects. CONTRACT OBJECTIVES: The MMS is looking to leverage existing investments in GIT hardware infrastructure, software and training. The OMM has invested heavily in existing GIT software through both direct costs and indirect cost. Critical data is stored in existing software application database formats and workflows have been developed around these existing project data stores. The cost of migrating data to new project database solutions would be high in the short term. Furthermore, OMM geoscientists and engineers have achieved a high level of proficiency in these applications. Key existing software applications are: GeoFrame from Schlumberger, IESX by, CPS-3 from Schlumberger, WellPix by Schlumberger, Stratimagic from Paradigm and LCTseis from Fugro-LCT. The implementation and use of the key software components has provided increased productivity and improvements to OMM work processes. A primary objective of a new contract is to provide access to critical new technologies that will provide a new step increase in productivity. Another goal is for the OMM to achieve more flexibility to manage all software licenses. The flexibility includes the ability to reorganize the existing portfolio of software applications as well as adding different licensing options. To achieve these goals the MMS is seeking options on WAN pricing, leasing options and ASP service options, as well as license remix options where the MMS can trade licenses for credits to be used to acquire newer technologies. The MMS would like an option to set aside a percentage of the yearly maintenance for software development that focuses on MMS needs or initiatives. SCOPE: The scope encompasses all technologies used in an E&P environment, including software, documentation, training, support and services that can allow the OMM geoscientist or engineer to meet the objectives of their mission described above. SOFTWARE: The software functionality required by the original GIT contract was divided into geophysical analysis, petrophysical analysis, reservoir analysis, interactive mapping and geographic information systems. GIT II leveraged the original investment and expanded the software functionality to include visualization, gravity and magnetic modeling, velocity modeling, stratigraphic analysis and 3-D geological modeling. GIT III will leverage the existing information technology developed to support GIT. The currently identified solution categories are: AVO ANALYSIS: Software in this category will be used to estimate the lithology and fluid content or reservoir rocks using the analysis of seismic amplitude variations with offset. Software that generates impedance data will also be considered under this category. DATA MANAGEMENT: The data management requirements include: data audit records management, database reconciliation, data rationalization, digital data archive and storage database maintenance. The data managed are E&P data including: seismic data (both 2-D and 3-D time and depth migrated data) in both SEG-Y format and in GeoFrame project format, well logs in LAS and TIFF, velocity models in ASCII format, GeoFrame interpretation project data (horizons, markers, grids, etc.), and CGM and other image file outputs. Applications should provide the means to view, quality check, clean, and load the data, collect and catalog meta-data, store the meta-data, archive the data and allow retrieval of the archived data. A web browser tool and a map interface should be provided for users to view archived or available on-line data and provide a means to access the data. GEOLOGY: Provide detailed geological analysis of the near-well area and well-to-well interpretation and correlation. Types of analysis include well top picks, correlations, cross-section generation, zone identification, lithology classification, facies classifications and dip and image interpretation. Log display and editing can also be accomplished. Display capabilities and function capabilities should be both single and multi-well. GEOLOGIC MODELING: This category covers a wide range of needs for the OMM from 3-D geological modeling structural modeling and restoration, and basin maturity and oil migration modeling. GEOSTATISTICS: The requirements are to provide krieging, cokriging and simulation capabilities to analyze and compare geological and geophysical data to extract statistical relationships in the data. GRAVITY/MAGNETICS: The software must model gravity and magnetic data to compare and verify seismic interpretations. The software must closely integrate with OMM seismic data sets. INTEGRATION: Integration provides users access to all data and information needed to perform their work in their application of choice either through data transfer or translation. Integration includes publishing information back to the master data store. The integration software should provide options for filtering data and quality checking data during the integration process. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: Knowledge management software should allow geoscientists and engineers to capture knowledge, share information, create reports and collaborate online. Workflow and decision processes of projects should be easily captured and preserved. MAPPING AND GRIDDING: Maps and grids are a primary output mechanism for virtually all data generated. There must be a strong integration with all software disciplines. This module must contain a full complement of quality mapping functionality including coordinate geometry (COGO), projection, datum, spheroid, and scale functions. Accurate and conditionally sound gridding and contouring of horizon tops and bases, isopachs, and all seismic attributes are required. PETROPHYSICAL ANALYSIS: The component requires the capabilities to load industry standard well log formats, edit raw curve data, and environmentally correct and analyze data. A variety of porosity, water saturation, resistivity and shale volume calculations are necessary to realistically define reservoir limits. These analyses must include deterministic, probabilistic and multi-mineral methods of analysis. RISK AND VALUE: The OMM undertakes probabilistic play analysis, economically recoverable reserves estimates, and economically recoverable resources. The resource economic value of tracts offered for lease is determined by calculating the amount of economically recoverable resources, estimating cost recovery factors, production profiles, exploration and development costs, operating costs, revenue streams, and performing discounted cash-flow analysis. Computer simulation modeling incorporating geologic and economic risk is performed to accomplish this task. RESERVOIR ENGINEERING: Analytical tools are required to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze oil and gas reservoirs. In order to evaluate the reservoirs' current production capability and its expected ultimate recoverable hydrocarbons, decline curve analyses, of several types, will be performed. Pressure and temperature studies with well performance tests, reservoir pressure and temperature, relative permeability and capillary pressure, porosity and water saturation will be used to evaluate individual well cumulative production potential and the reservoir's production potential over its expected lifetime. Quantitative economic analyses of the production rates, in conjunction with other test results, will be used to determine ultimate dollar return for the reservoir to the operator and government. RESERVOIR PROPERTIES: Mapping log properties to seismic data and seismic attribute analysis to determine reservoir property extent. RESERVOIR SIMULATION: Black oil and compositional simulation that includes gridding and preparation routines to get models ready for simulation. SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING: Software to manipulate and change seismic data from field orientated data into interpretation-ready quality data. Processing includes: demultiplexing, gain recovery, amplitude analysis, wavelet shaping, deconvolution, statistics analysis, velocity analysis, normal moveout correction, mute, stack, filtering, and migration. SEISMIC INTERPRETATION: The use of interpretation techniques to evaluate 2-D, 3-D, 4C, depth and other potential types of seismic data collected to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the subsurface. SEISMIC MODELING: The OMM uses seismic forward modeling to determine if a survey accurately images an objective target and to test and validate seismic structural and attribute interpretations. OMM requires both 2-D and 3-D forward seismic modeling capabilities and illumination analysis. STRATIGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: The OMM uses seismic facies and neural network technology to determine subtle reservoir characteristics by mapping seismic character and assessing the variation in signal shape over an interval of interest (e. g. reservoir). The result is a color classified facies model that represent seismic data heterogeneity. Classification maps are then computed to show the distribution of seismic facies. VELOCITY MODELING: The OMM requires post-stack velocity modeling capabilities to provide interactive time to depth conversion of horizons or seismic data sets to generate velocity models to determine the reasonableness of acquired depth migrated data. VISUALIZATION: The OMM requires a multi-platform 3-D canvas to integrate interpretations from the other GIT applications and interpret all data. This data includes, but is not limited to, wells, well paths, velocity data, seismic data, well log data, horizon data, markers, grids, faults, etc. The visualization software should be a scalable solution and be able to handle multi-attribute volumes, multiple 3-D volumes and volumes of any size. SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY: The functionality of the software acquired through GIT III must be compatible with OMM systems architecture. The current system environment utilizes client/server architecture with SUN Server 2000's, Auspex and Network Appliance servers, SUN workstations running Solaris 8 and personal computers running Windows 2000. Both a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN) are employed. The architecture uses on-line and near-line data storage in a combination SAN and NAS configuration. Plotting is done through ZEH software. As technology changes, the system architecture may also change. All software must maintain compatibility with changes in the OMM system architecture throughout the life of the contract. Data is stored using the master data/project level data store concept. The master data store is an Oracle-based relational database that consists of TIMS, an internally developed data model, and Finder. The data is currently moved via GeoShare from the master store to the project applications. As new technologies are acquired, compatibility between the software applications becomes a concern. To try to maintain software compatibility, the software should adhere to industry standards. The following are the minimum standards that effect this proposal: Petroleum Open Software Corporation (POSC), Public Petroleum Data Model (PPDM), OpenGIS (Open GIS Consortium) and GeoShare. DOCUMENTATION: One copy per license of appropriate documentation, including a programmer guide, quick reference guide, technical reference manual and on-line help should be provided written in plain English. TRAINING: Multiple training options are required to support the OMM train-the-trainer system. The training options available to OMM should not be limited to standard training at the vendor site teaching basic software use. The OMM requires on-site training option at its own training facilities. These facilities allow for 12 people per training session. OMM requires system level training, project level, and user training that uses OMM workflows and OMM data. SUPPORT: OMM requires the following support options: Technical support via telephone as needed, technical support via on site visits to MMS as needed, technical support via facsimile screen dumps as needed, technical support via user support groups as needed, technical support via remote system operation as needed, and technical support via on line context sensitive help as needed. MAINTENANCE: Software maintenance will provide the OMM both with new software version upgrades and the latest software corrections modifications and fixes. New software versions, patches or releases generated with the latest corrections will be provided to the OMM in a timely fashion, i.e., the same time the corrections are made available to any other software client. The OMM will receive the initial three months of maintenance as a warranty for the software to ensure that the software is acceptable for OMM use. At any time during this 3-month period, the software can be returned for a full refund. The OMM requires the ability to transfer licenses to other regions without penalty. Software bugs or problems reported by the OMM to the software vendor should be dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. Within 24 hours of notifying the vendor of a problem, the OMM will receive a report indicating the status of the problem and a time frame for problem resolution. The OMM will have the option to assign a mission critical status to issues. A procedure will be established between OMM and the vendor to ensure that OMM problems are dealt with to OMM's satisfaction. SERVICES: Services include, but are not limited to, on-site support and guidance. Typical on-site support services include software installation, project upgrades, and workflow analysis. Additional services include participation in an on-line exploration and production marketplace or business, the use of an application service provider, or the storage and management of data.
