Happy Wednesday!
You know we like to keep up with
the happenings at the Department of Energy, and they are furthering their investment
in innovations for the oil and gas industry for new ways to improve how things
are done.
Did anyone
happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal
Energy Office Release on July 6, 2026, their announcement, “Energy Department
Announces Up To $150 Million To Boost Unconventional Oil and Gas Recovery,
Advance Hydraulic Fracture Characterization, and Revolutionize Produced Water
Management”? In the announcement last
week, U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Office published
a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) of $150 million for cost-shared projects who
are looking to innovate one of three topics: projects which are looking to
improve enhanced oil recovery from unconventional oil and gas reservoirs; projects
which are looking to innovate hydraulic fracturing; and lastly projects which
are looking for improved ways to manage and treat produced water. The deadline for applications is in early
September; please see the announcement for details. If you would like to read more of the Announcement
from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click
