The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of providing a Cryogen free, super conducting, variable field MRI Rock Core 3D Imager with software, capable of measuring properties of subsurface whole rocks and core material, including multi-nuclei capabilities, and high-resolution 3D imaging of rock cores, and flow studies. This system should provide fast, accurate, non-destructive analysis of core plugs and should be capable of measuring reservoir properties such as capillary pressure, porosity, bound water, wettability, and relative permeability from NMR data. System should be capable of measuring multiple nuclei including hydrogen, carbon, lithium, sodium and fluorine. The specifications of this 3D Rock Core Imager are outlined in Attachment A to this Sources Sought. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE that is open to all companies and is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. This Sources Sought Notice is released pursuant to FAR Part 10 Market Research and is issued for the purpose of identifying available sources (interested entities) capable of performing the requirement. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and NO CONTRACT will be awarded from this announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. The information gathered from this Sources Sought Notice will be utilized in the Government's determination for the business type utilized in the RFQ. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to solicit input and gauge interest among those parties capable of providing a Cryogen free, super conducting, variable field MRI Rock Core 3D Imager in accordance with the specifications outlined in Attachment A to this Source Sought. DESCRIPTION: The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory system and is owned and operated by the DOE. NETL supports the DOE mission to advance the energy security of the United States. As such, this instrument will allow NETL to reproduce pressures and temperatures that mimic the subsurface and will significantly enhance and improve its subsurface research capabilities. The experimental measurements and data acquired would enable NETL to produce highly accurate modeling for predictions, risk assessment, and interdisciplinary environmental goals. As part of this of this mission, NETL has a need for a Cryogen free, super conducting, variable field MRI Rock Core 3D Imager The information being solicited includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. A cover page (no longer than one page) which provides the following information: The entities name, address, phone number, email address f…
