## Description
Award of contract 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.
The facility will have to mimic downhole conditions such as pressure and temperature and to allow a test tool to be deployed and activated before enabling a pressure test on the seal.
