BP Expression of Interest.... Offshore Geotechnical and Metocean Site Investigation Survey
BP Exploration Libya Ltd hereby requests “Expression of Interest” from qualifying Contractors for the provision of Offshore Geotechnical and Metocean Site Investigation Survey in support of BP’s forthcoming exploration drilling campaign in the offshore Sirte Basin, Libya.
Scope of Work:
A site investigation is required in Libya waters (water depth circa 2000m), the Geotechnical scope comprises 10 x 100m boreholes. 6 of the 10 boreholes are at the position of exploration wells, the 4 ‘additional’ locations are intended to build understanding of variation of near surface ground conditions across the basin. Several of these ‘additional’ locations are also intended to sample the Messinian (anhydrite). Each borehole will be progressed with alternating sampling and in-situ testing. The Metocean scope comprises deployment of two current monitoring moorings, which are to be in service for 1 year. Drilling of a 12 1/4’ or 17 ½’ borehole to a depth of 700m to evaluate both the jettability of the surficial soils and the drillability of the deep Messinian is required at one location. Petrophysical data (sonic, gamma and density logs) will be collected in the borehole whilst drilling through the Messinian. Leading on from the site investigation there will be a requirement to conduct onshore geotechnical laboratory testing on recovered soil and rock samples and to document findings from the site investigation in the form of field, factual and parameter reports.
Any contractors providing “Expression of Interest” must as a minimum provide the following information:
A) Copies of Libyan Company Registration Documents (Libyan Tax Registration/Libyan Company Registration/Libyan Permit to Work);
B) Contractor’s nationality and details of their Registration
C) Details of experience and results in provision of services above
D) Details of vessels that can undertake the above scope of work
E) Details of Health, Safety and Environment Management programs in place.
Contractors are now invited to register their interest for the provision of these services in Libya with details as above. This information will then be used by BP Libya to identify potential contractors to participate in a pre-qualification exercise and competitive tender for this work.
Response Deadline and Address A statement of Expression of Interest and all required data must be received no later than the close of business on 14 August 2012. Interested contractors can submit the information via email as follows:
