Summary
The Department of the Interior, Office of Acquisition and Property Management on behalf of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) issued an RFI titled "Definition of Permanent Barriers" to collect industry feedback on a Draft Statement of Work and to identify entities with relevant expertise. The effort is market research only (Sources Sought/RFI) and will compile existing performance data on permanent barrier technologies, develop a structured database and a scorecard-style review framework; no contract will be awarded from this announcement. The work focuses on compiling and peer-reviewing existing data (not new testing) to define minimum technical parameters and operating envelopes for permanent barriers used in offshore well integrity systems.
