## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by UK Research & Innovation, concerns the project titled "UKRI-1436 Requirement for geophysical logging and sampling." Classified under logging services in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom, the tender period ended on 16 February 2021, followed by the contract period from 16 March 2021 to 31 March 2021. The total contract value was £52,880, although specific procurement methods were not outlined. The awarding of the contract was completed on 16 February 2021, with published details available as of 8 April 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for companies focused on geophysical services, specifically those that have expertise in logging and sampling methodologies. Businesses specialising in geological analysis or CO2related activities would be particularly competitive in this procurement, as well as those capable of providing relevant technical resources and expertise. Engaging with such contracts can facilitate growth and establish crucial partnerships in the field of environmental science and sustainable practices.

## Notice

The aim of this logging and sampling exercise is to provide pre-injection logging data and then logging data and pressurised fluid samples following small-scale CO2 injection at a field laboratory in Leicestershire during Late February - mid March 2021. Geophysical logs are expected to show changes in electrical properties as the CO2 dissolves into the pore water, making it slightly more acidic. These geophysical results will be validated through analysis of collected fluid samples that will confirm the concentration of CO2 in each well. There are four monitoring wells with plastic Boode casing, ID 76.6 mm, OD 90 mm. This casing has slots to access the sandstone at depths of around 180 m and 205 m. CO2 will be injected into this sandstone via a dedicated injection well and will migrate through natural pathways in the sandstone. The sandstone is capped by a thick mudstone. These wells are filled with groundwater, almost to surface.
