Rebid - Rock Mechanics System with High Temperature and CO2 Injection Capabilities

The government buyer is Texas A&M University at Qatar, located in Doha, Qatar. The award is for a Rock Mechanics System with High Temperature and CO2 Injection Capabilities. The awarded equipment includes a servo mechanical load frame capable of axial loads up to 250,000 lbf/1334 kN, frame stiffness of 6 x 10^6 lbs/inch, confining pressure and pore pressure up to 15,000 psi, and acceptance of sample diameters up to 4 inches with a length-to-diameter ratio of 2:1. The system includes compressional and shear acoustic transducers, temperature capability up to 150C, real-time data acquisition and process control software, permeability measurement using supercritical N2, and CO2 injection with CO2 resistant seals for leak-free testing. Testing capabilities include triaxial tests, multistage triaxial tests, uniaxial pore volume compressibility tests, Biot coefficient tests, creep tests, hydrostatic compression tests, azimuthal acoustic velocity measurements, thermal expansion tests, thick wall cylinder tests, direct shear and fracture conductivity tests, unconventional permeability measurements, CO2/supercritical CO2 measurements, drainage/imbibition at elevated pressure and temperature, and resistivity measurements. Shipping terms specify DAP for non-Doha vendors and DDP for Doha vendors, with detailed customs clearance requirements. Payment terms are 100% net 30 upon receipt, installation, and acceptance. The vendor must provide manufacturer warranty starting upon acceptance. Final testing and acceptance require vendor demonstration and installation compliance. Insurance requirements include general and professional liability and employee compensation insurance as per local laws. Alternate equivalent items may be bid with full documentation. Texas A&M University at Qatar reserves rights for cancellation due to funding or non-performance. The vendor is responsible for delivery and installation at the Texas A&M University at Qatar campus in Doha, Qatar. No specific OEM or vendor names are mentioned in the document.
