B -- 3 D Reflection Seismic Data Processing

The Geothermal Program Office (GPO) of the U.S. Navy requires data processing of a 16 mi2 volume of three-dimensional data shot in the spring of 2005. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This requirement will be awarded Firm Fixed Price. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. N68711-05-T-0050 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The NAICCS Code is 541330 and the Small Business size standard in millions of dollars is $4M or less employees. This solicitation is not issued as a small business set-aside. Delivery will be F.O.B. Destination to Geothermal Program Office, ESC25, 429 East Bowen Road, China Lake, CA 93556-6108. Task (1) 3-D REFLECTION SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING. The data must be processed into stacked and migrated versions suitable for interpretation on a Sun Ultra Sparc workstation. Data were acquired at the Hawthorne Army Depot, NV. Acquisition parameters: Survey area 16 mi2, Cell size 82.5 ft. x 82.5 ft., Source interval165 ft. Source line interval 660 ft., Receiver interval 165 ft., Receiver line interval 330 ft., Active channels 2176, Shots per square mile 256, Total shots 4096, Record length 4 seconds, Sample rate 2 ms, Total pre-stack traces 8,912,896 (estimated), Recording format SEG-Y or SEG-D, Recording medium 3490 tapes. Government Furnished Data: The GPO will, at its expense, provide all reflection seismic data on magnetic tape; physical survey data will be provided on CD and will be in SEG-P1 format. In addition, processors will also receive any observers notes, associated maps, and support information. Upon completion of the processing, all government-furnished data shall be promptly returned to the GPO. Data Processing: The GPO requests bids on two separate processing sequences: Sequence A with post-stack time migration, and Sequence B with Kirchoff pre-stack time migration. In addition, certain optional cost quotations are requested. Offerors should provide a description of the 3D algorithm suite that they intend to use explaining why that suite provides the best product. Processing Sequence A: Geometry application and quality control, Correction for spherical divergence, Definition of grid, Application of refraction statics, Surface consistent deconvolution, Surface consistent amplitude compensation, Velocity analysis (minimum of one mile grid), Application of surface consistent residual statics, CDP stacking, Velocity analysis on one-half mile grid, Application of surface consistent residual statics, Application of dip move-out (DMO), CDP Stacking, Post-stack time migration (specify method), Band-pass filtering, Frequency domain deconvolution (if necessary), Application of gain. Processing Sequence B: Geometry application and quality control, Correction for spherical divergence, Definition of grid, Application of refraction statics, Surface consistent deconvolution, Surface consistent amplitude compensation, Velocity analysis (minimum of one mile grid), Application of surface consistent residual statics, CDP stacking, Velocity analysis on 3D imaged Kirchoff pre-stack time migration target lines on one-half mile grid, Kirchoff pre-stack time migration, CDP Stacking, Band-pass filtering, Frequency domain deconvolution (if necessary), Application of gain. Optional Processing and Tape Costs: 3D ensemble gather processing for attenuation of surface generated noise (per mi2), Additional post-stack or psot-migration frequency domain deconvolution (per mi2), Additional velocity analyses over the standard sequence (per analysis), Additional pass of surface-consistent residual statics (per mi2), CDP-consistent (trim) statics (per mi2), Additional band-pass filter on final stack or migration (per mi2), Additional SEG-Y copies of migration output (per mi2), Copies of any pre-stack data at any stage of processing, on 8 mm tape (per mi2), Copies of any post-stack data at any stage of processing, other than final product, on 8 mm tape (per mi2), Additional copies of any final format output data (per tape). Deliverables: Final migrated data volume in SEG-Y format on 8 mm Exabyte, or equivalent, tape. Final interpolated velocity field on 8 mm tape. Copy of bin-center coordinates on CD. Monitoring: The Contractor shall keep the Government Technical Monitor apprised of progress being made on the work at a minimum through biweekly updates. These shall take the form of telephone conversations only, written reports are not required. The Contractor may provide paper or digital copies of interim products that will be discussed during those conversations. At his discretion, the Government Technical Monitor may visit the Contractors site to review progress and to discuss steps that have been taken in processing, and what steps are yet to be taken. Delivery Schedule: The Government will deliver input data to the Contractor within one week of contract award. Offerors shall provide a schedule for delivery of all products described herein. 1. Offerors must demonstrate capability and experience in performing the type of processing described in the Statement of Work using typical oil and gas industry-standard, exploration-type reflection seismic data. Experience with high-resolution, engineering-type data processing is not sufficient. 2. Offerors must provide a list of a minimum of three clients that may be contacted in order to verify capability to process reflection seismic data. Contact information shall consist of: name of company for whom work was performed, point of contact with the company, position of the POC, telephone number of the POC, and type of work completed. 3. Once the list of qualified offerors has been established, the final criterion that will determine contract award will be price. Any contractors doing business with the Government must now be registered with the Central Contractor Registry. The web site is http://www.ccr.gov/.
