Sponsors of the Environmentally Friendly Drilling Systems Program,

 

On behalf of the entire EFD Phase II Research Team, we wish to invite you and other members of your organization to a sponsors-only meeting wherein the results from the current effort will be discussed.

We recognize that one of the benefits of your EFD  sponsorship is the chance to network with one another in order to discuss new developments related to how you're working to reduce the environmental footprint. So, all sponsors have the opportunity to have space in the entrance hall to the meeting to exhibit. There is plenty of room, so bring whatever you would like!

When you register with Ginny ([email protected]) please let her know that you would like space to exhibit.

We sincerely hope that you and others from your organization will be able to actively participate in this meeting.

The EFD program, funded by federal, state and foreign government agencies, industry and environmental organizations, provides unbiased science to policy makers and identifies, develops and tests new technologies, processes and systems to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil and gas activities, from well site selection through natural gas compression. The program, approximately $4 million per year, is engaged in research and technology transfer activities from the Western Slope of the Rockies to the Ukraine, and from the North Slope of Alaska to Columbia (South America). Research includes land, air and water issues, as well as public perception investigations. The program was honored with the Chairman's Stewards Award for Environmental Partnership at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
