202161284 - DEN On-Call Oil & Gas Field Closure Services

This request is for a competitive Request For Proposal (RFP) procurement to establish an On-Call Oil and Gas Field Closure Services at Denver International Airport (DEN). DEN is committed to several sustainability initiatives over the next five years to reduce its carbon footprint. While DEN has been slowly plugging oil & gas wells over the past few years, DENs Vision 100 Plan calls for the plugging efforts to accelerate to permanently cease all oil & gas operations at DEN. The current DEN oil & gas field has been shut in since May 2018 due to the elimination of a third-party gas gathering system to accept the natural gas produced by the wells. The work requires specialized and knowledgeable oil field operators to plug and permanently close each of DENs 64 remaining wells, deconstruct the well equipment, deconstruct the 38 associated tank batteries, remove underground oil flowlines and reclaim the surface land area by removing concrete pads, road base and flattening gravel berms. The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) has specific regulatory requirements for this comprehensive activity that DEN and its contractors must adhere to.  Information regarding the regulatory requirements can be found at: https://cogcc.state.co.us/#/home.

DEN’s Oil & Gas Program Operator, PetroPro Engineering, Inc. will complete the COGCC’s Form 6 requirements which will incorporate DEN’s additional plug & abandonment requirements.  The Proposer will be required to complete the closure activities per the approved Form 6 design.
