Notice Information

Notice Title

Government-Funded Exploration License Competition

Notice Description

In the 2015/16 UK Budget, OGA was assigned funds to acquire seismic and other geoscience data in under-explored areas of the UK Continental Shelf in order to improve regional evaluations and stimulate future exploration activity by improving the fundamental geological understanding of these areas. Two areas were selected for surveying, in collaboration with industry, and the geophysical acquisition work was completed and data processed. The surveys cover the Rockall Trough and the Mid North Sea High (MNSH) areas with a total of up to 40,000 km of new and legacy seismic data (including a substantial set of Broadband 2D seismic data), supplemented by gravity and magnetic data. Final Processed and Raw data will be made available at the end of March 2016, including full-offset stacks, angle stacks, gathers, velocity data, navigation data, gravity data, magnetic data and well log data. A small charge will be made for data provided on physical media (i.e. field tapes). These data packages will be freely available for interpretation from 31st March 2016. More information on the surveys (including spatial data) is available from the OGA website: www.gov.uk/oga. Additional information: If you wish to take part in this EOI please see the document attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to David Wilson at address stipulated in the "Who to Contact" section. Any late submissions will not be considered. OGA reserves the right to halt the procurement process and to not award a contract. OGA will not be held liable for recovery of costs from unsuccessful bids if a contract is not awarded. All costs will be borne by the bidding organisations. If a contract is created it will be upon DECC Standard Terms and Conditions. Completed submissions must be returned by post to OGA, address given at the top of this advertisement, by 1 April 2016 17.00 hours 2016. We require 3 hard copies (one of which must be signed). Electronic versions of your bids are to be sent AFTER the deadline to david.i.wilson@decc.gsi.gov.uk). After reviewing and evaluating the written proposals, OGA may decide to hold bid clarification meetings with suppliers.
