STATEMENT OF WORK

Geophysical-Logging and Imaging Services

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey

I. SCOPE OF WORK

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, hereafter designated “the Department,” requires the assistance of a Contractor to perform selected slim-tool, digital, geophysical-logging and -imaging services, otherwise designated “borehole geophysics services,” to identify and characterize the rocks and their contained fluids penetrated in boreholes. The boreholes may be of various diameter, depth, drilling method, construction (i.e., uncased and cased), and purpose (e.g., exploratory diamond-core holes, water wells, gas wells, etc.).

Questions regarding the technical specifications of this Contract should be directed to Clifford Dodge at 717-702-2036, email: cdodge@pa.gov. (Email communication is preferred.) Questions concerning the contracting or bidding procedures should be directed to Casey Smith at 717-783- 1896, email: caseysmith@pa.gov.

II. CONTRACT TASK

Rock characteristics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to, lithology (aided by cores or cuttings collected); bedding contacts; bedding thickness and orientation (dip azimuth and angle of inclination); cross-bedding identification, thickness, orientation (dip azimuth and angle of inclination); fracture depth, density, and orientation (dip azimuth and angle of inclination); density; porosity; permeability; acoustical properties, and rock-mechanical properties. Fluid characteristics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to, temperature; salinity (aided by water sampling and analysis); flow direction and velocity, and yield.

The geophysical logs and imaging that potentially may be required to run by the Contractor, (not all may be required for any particular borehole), as determined by the Department, either individually or in some combination on various tools (sondes), include the following:

Single-Point Resistance H. Spontaneous Potential I. Dual Induction J. Sonic, Full Waveform K. 3-Arm Caliper mailto:cdodge@pa.gov mailto:caseysmith@pa.gov

L. Optical Televiewer (OTV) M. Acoustical Televiewer (ATV) N. Temperature O. Fluid Conductivity P. Heat-Pulse Flowmeter Q. Spinner Flowmeter

III. EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

All geophysical-logging and imaging tools (sondes) shall have an outer diameter of no greater than 5.1 cm (2 in.), except for the impeller cage of the Spinner Flowmeter. Minimum requirements for selected geophysical-logging and imaging tools are as follows:

A. High-Resolution Density, Dual Detector: the tool shall be capable of quantitative, compensated density measurements (when calibrated and de-centralized) in open holes, and have a short-spaced source-to-detector distance of no more than 20 cm (7.9 in.) and long-spaced source-to-detector distance of no more than 35 cm (13.8 in.), and shall also be capable of qualitative readings through single-wall PVC and steel casing (i.e., by having a sufficiently strong source).

B. Neutron Thermal Neutron: the tool shall be capable of quantitative neutron porosity measurements (when calibrated and de-centralized) in open holes, capable of qualitative readings through single-wall PVC and steel casing (i.e., by having a sufficiently strong source), and have a source-to-detector distance of no more than 35 cm (13.8 in.).

C. Dual Induction: the tool shall provide two simultaneous conductivity logs, corresponding to “medium” and “deep” radii of investigation into the borehole wall.

D. Optical Televiewer (OTV): the tool shall be capable of circumferential scanning of the borehole at vertical intervals (i.e., width or thickness of each scan) of no greater than 0.9 mm (0.003 ft) and shall have a minimum acceptable circular resolution of 1440 pixels.

Color resolution shall be at least 24-bit RGB true colors.

E. Heat-Pulse Flowmeter: the collection of data with this tool shall be capable of being made under both ambient and pumping conditions and shall be required, depending on the needs of the Department.

IV. DATA ACQUISITION AND DELIVERABLES

A. To minimize physical and legal restrictions of access to the logging sites, which may be located anywhere throughout Pennsylvania and are often in remote locations off dirt roads, the logging equipment shall be fully contained in a four-wheel-drive vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less. It is estimated that two days will generally be required to complete all of the required services for each borehole site, owing to the driving distances and time involved in getting to most of the sites and the likely number of logs to be run.

B. In order to maximize the rate of data collection up hole from various geophysical-logging and -imaging tools and to minimize the length of time such tools must remain in boreholes (i.e., to minimize the number of repeated trips in the borehole), including gas wells, the logging equipment in the vehicle must include a truck-mounted logging winch with at least 4-conductor cable and sufficient quantity (length) of such cable to log boreholes at least up to 4,000 feet deep.

C. Standard data parameters shall be used and standard measurements shall be made, consistent with the purpose of the geophysical-logging and imaging tools (sondes). Data-sampling intervals will be determined by the Contractor, in consultation with the Department, but generally will be at least every 3 cm (0.1 ft).

D. Standard output products are expected to be made from the various geophysical-logging and -imaging tools for each run, based on consultation between the Contractor and the Department.

In addition, several standard derivative (computed) products are required, including for density and/or neutron logs-bulk density, compensated bulk density, density porosity, and neutron porosity; for the OTV and/or ATV imaging-identification and orientation (dip azimuth and angle of inclination) of bedding and fracture planes; and for temperature logs-differential temperature.

A report on the findings of the OTV survey (and including findings of the ATV survey as well when appropriate) may be required and will include a summarization (output) of the geophysical logs and imaging runs, including (for surveys run) full 360-degree oriented displays (“splayed” view) of optical image, acoustic amplitude, and acoustic travel time;

3-D view (“virtual core” view) of optical image of borehole in orientation(s) required by the Department in consultation with the Contractor; display of identified bedding and fracture projections (in “splayed” view) derived from imaging runs; “tadpole” plots of orientation (dip azimuth and angle of inclination) of bedding and fracture planes; an analysis of both identified bedding and fractures using stereonets and rose diagrams; a tabular listing of each identified planar feature; and a deviation survey of the borehole, showing orientation relative to magnetic or true north, deviation from vertical, and trajectory, all displayed in 2-D and 3-D formats. The report shall also detail methods used, interpretations of data, and conclusions reached.

E. In consultation with the Department and its requirements, the Contractor shall provide copies of all logs and imaging, both as separates and composites, in both paper and electronic formats, including TIFF, JPEG, PDF, WCL, and LAS, as appropriate to the type of data collected by the various geophysical-logging and imaging tools.

F. NO sub-contracting of this project.
