National Energy Technology Laboratory; Notice of Availability of a Financial Assistance Solicitation

Resumen

Notice is hereby given of the intent to issue Financial Assistance Solicitation No. DE-PS26-03NT15391 entitled "Advanced and Key Oilfield Technologies for Independents." The Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), on behalf of its National Petroleum Technology Office (NPTO), seeks applications for cost-shared development and demonstration projects using advanced and key oilfield technologies in the United States. The proposed project should address a technical risk that results in the technology's full acceptance by the independents. The goal is to provide technical solutions to issues that are limiting domestic on-shore or off-shore oil exploration and production by independent oil producing companies while providing the same or higher levels of environmental protection expected under the law. Applications will either address: (1) Existing Fields or (2) Exploration.
