    Brief

    The National Decommissioning Centre at the University of Aberdeen is seeking to procure or construct a specialized downhole testing facility to evaluate new materials and technologies for plugging and abandonment (P&A) of oil and gas wells. The facility must simulate subsurface conditions including pressure and temperature variations, accommodate the deployment and activation of test tools, and enable pressure testing of seals and plugging systems. This equipment will provide validation and qualification framework for both existing and emerging alternative plugging technologies used in well decommissioning. Suppliers should note that the facility requires precision engineering to accurately replicate downhole environmental conditions and must support rigorous testing protocols for material performance and seal integrity assessment.
