SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Executive Summary [Excerpted From
the 2012 Annual Plan p. iv]
This 2012 Annual Plan is the sixth
research plan for the Ultra-Deepwater
and Unconventional Natural Gas and
Other Petroleum Resources Research
Program since the launch of the
program in 2007.
This plan continues the important
shift in priorities towards safety and
environmental sustainability that was
initiated in the last plan, and is
consistent with the President’s Office of
Management and Budget directive for
research that has significant potential
public benefits.
Onshore, research on Unconventional
Resources will focus on protecting
groundwater and air quality,
understanding rock and fluid
interactions, and integrated
environmental protection, including
water treatment technologies and water
management. For Small Producers, the
Program will focus on extending the life
of mature fields in an environmentally
sustainable way.
Offshore, research on Ultra-Deepwater
will focus on improved understanding
of systems risk, reducing risk through
the acquisition of real-time information

throughout the various systems, and
reducing risk through the development
of advanced technologies.
The research activities will be
administered by the Research
Partnership to Secure Energy for
America (RPSEA), which operates under
the guidance of the Secretary of Energy.
RPSEA is a consortium which includes
representatives from industry,
academia, and research institutions. The
expertise of RPSEA’s members in all
areas of the exploration and production
value chain ensure that the Department
of Energy’s research program leverages
relevant emerging technologies and
processes, and that project results will
have a direct impact on practices in the
field.
