Improved Oil and Gas Recovery and Produced Water Management Technologies
Funds field-ready technology to recover more oil and gas from tough reservoirs and to treat the water produced alongside them, with a required cost share.
Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs give up less than 10 percent of what's in them on average, and the water that comes up alongside that oil and gas is its own disposal problem. This NOFO funds both halves.
Two things are funded: research and development projects that improve recovery efficiency from unconventional reservoirs, and field testing and validation of technologies that treat produce…
Research, development and field validation improving recovery efficiency from unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs, and treating produced water to avoid deep well injection and induced-seismicity risk, open to any applicant type with a required cost share.
