QUOTATION SUBMISSION

BRAND NAME OR EQUAL TO S&P GLOBAL SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS

The contractor shall provide oil and gas well data which shall meet or exceed the following Brand Name Salient Characteristics.

Brand Name: S&P Global

Background:

The Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Energy Resources Program (ERP) is congressionally mandated to provide detailed assessments of undiscovered oil and gas resources worldwide. Conducting these assessments require the most comprehensive and up-to date compilation of oil and gas well history and production. Historically, the USGS has contracted with S&P Global to provide the USGS with access to several data libraries including US Oil and Gas Well History and Production, Canada Well History and Production, and World (excluding US and Canada) Oil and Gas History and Production. S&P Global also provides several tools to search and retrieve data from these systems using various tools: Enerdeq, Accumap, and EDIN. Another deliverable is a local copy of the US Oil and Gas Well History and Production data for more advanced data operations. Several complementary software packages are also contracted for analyzing these data: Petra, Kingdom, and Que$tor.

World (excluding US and Canada) Oil and Gas History and Production data will only be used by a small team of less than 10 members of the international component of the National and Global Assessment project. Licensing is sought to reflect small group of users.
