vendors doing business in Wyoming and
producing from its reservoirs, seeks
improved, economic methods for
recovering larger volumes of stranded
oil and gas.
The program offers successful
applicants cost sharing, EORI describes,
with the institute footing the bill for as
much as half the direct costs to conduct
the study until the $500,000 budget is
exhausted or until June 30, 2018. The
institute says it will consider a number
of projects that will address a variety of
research topics.
Wyoming has a rich and varied
geology and corresponding collection of
geological traps and structures that
produce oil and gas, PAW describes,
adding that the program aims to gather a
diverse set of real-world operating data
to consider various approaches to
increase oil and gas production in those
varying scenarios. The association cites
examples such as interwell tracer tests
to determine thief zones, connectivity
and reservoir flow characteristics.
New technologies that hold promise
for solving production problems may
prove good candidates for pilot tests,
PAW continues, pointing out that
EORI is particularly interested in
companies' ability to address as many
production problems/issues as possible
across as many Wyoming
reservoirs/rocks as possible.
