A -- FUNDAMENTAL GEOSCIENCE FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION SOL DE-RA26-97BC15029 DUE 090297 POC Dona Sheehan (412)892-5918 e-mail sheehan@fetc.doe.gov WEB: click here on or about June 30, 1997 to download a copy of the PRDA, http://www.fetc.doe.gov. E-MAIL: click here to contact the Contract Specialist via e-mail, sheehan@fetc.doe.gov. The Department of Energy's (DOE), National Petroleum Technology Office (NPTO) seeks proposals that contain an interdisciplinary approach to the characterization of oil reservoirs through the use of basic and applied research. The objective of this PRDA is to support research integrating advanced geoscience and reservoir engineering concepts, technologies and methodologies to quantify reservoir architecture and the dynamics of fluid-rock and fluid-fluid interactions as related to lithologic characterization. Quantitative definition of reservoir heterogeneity is needed through the integration of geologic, geophysical and engineering data of widely variable scales, into a multidisciplinary understanding of the reservoir architecture and associated fluids interactions. Results should increase accuracy and confidence in model development and subsequent simulation activities, thus increasing well-to-well scale predictability for optimizing recovery from U.S. oil reservoirs. This PRDA will only be available via internet and will not be distributed in paper form. It is anticipated that solicitation DE-RA26-97BC15029 will be accessible (as a Word Perfect 6.1 (Windows) document or in the Portable Document Format (PDF) on the World Wide Web (WWW) at http://www.fetc.doe.gov (select "solicitations") on or about June 30, 1997 and that the closing date for submission of proposals will be September 2, 1997. Those who obtain a copy of the solicitation through the WWW should check the location frequently for any amendments. (0141)
