Description

NOTICE TYPE: Solicitation NOTICE DATED: OFFICE ADDRESS: Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI), P. O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. ZIPCODE: 83415-3521 SUBJECT: A -- Natural gas well "wet gas" multiphase flow meter. SOLICITATION NO.: SOL S-9 RESPONSE DEADLINE: DUE 07/30/01 CONTACT: POC Paul Grahovac NOTICE TEXT: Natural gas well "wet gas" multiphase flow meter. This is a potential patent licensing and commercialization opportunity with Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI), the prime operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). BBWI seeks a partner to license and commercialize natural gas well "wet gas" multiphase flow meter technology BBWI has developed. This technology is a result of a long-standing problem identified to the INEEL by the oil and gas industry: the need to differentiate and measure gas and liquid flows in high void fraction (greater than 95% gas) natural gas wells. Offshore developments with multiple ownership scenarios are also driving the demand for this type of meter. It recently won one of the prestigious R&D 100 awards from R&D Magazine as well as a Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for outstanding technology. Industry field testing and demonstration has commenced and is nearly complete. Estimated meter sale costs to end users are in the $12K to $15K range. BBWI seeks a partner to license and commercialize this technology. This is not an opportunity to provide goods or services to BBWI or the Department of Energy. This Request for Interest (RFI) will close to response 30 days after publication. Interested parties should send e-mail to pg2@inel.gov (Paul Grahovac, Senior Account Executive, Technology Transfer & Commercialization, BBWI). If you do not have e-mail access, send regular mail to Paul Grahovac, Senior Account Executive, Technology Transfer & Commercialization, BBWI, P. O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805.
