What is being bought

Published requirement description

The National Decommissioning Centre at the University of Aberdeen has identified that there is a need for a downhole testing facility with the primary purpose of evaluating the behaviour of new plug materials for well-abandonment. Existing and emerging alternative plugging technologies require a framework for validation and verification. A mobile test facility is to be built for this purpose.
