Magnitude of Construction : Disclosure of the magnitude of construction, as prescribed in FAR 36.204 is between $5M and $10M. PROJECT Location and Description: The F. E. Warren Geothermal Generation Project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at exploring and characterizing the presence and productivity of geothermal resources at F. E. Warren AFB, east of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The project involves drilling a geothermal well to measure the thickness and test the properties of the Hartville Formation and the underlying formations, such as the Guernsey, Flathead, and Pre-Cambrian Formations. The drilling is planned to reach a maximum measured depth of 14,000 feet (see Attachment). The conceptual design of the well, as depicted in the attachment and subject to minor modifications before the request for proposals (RFP) is released, aims to comprehensively measure the temperature, pressure, and productivity of the formations described in Section 1, with a particular focus on the Hartville Formation. Any contractor interested in providing the services must be self-sufficient and have the ability to meet installation security requirements. The project execution envisions an integrated approach, with the contractor drilling and completing the well as illustrated in the attachment. The project will also require a well test to evaluate critical resource parameters such as formation temperature, pressure, and productivity, along with evaluating reservoir fluid composition. Additional criteria for drilling, completions, and testing will be outlined in a forthcoming Request for Proposal.
