There are currently 20 extramural projects in the Environmental Program, for a total value of roughly $26.6 million (not including participant cost-share). Approximately $9 million of this total is directed toward projects led by industry, $7 million to projects led by universities, $9.6 million to state agencies and national non-profit organizations, and $1 million to national laboratories for technical support to other project partners. The project portfolio is balanced between projects focused on technology development, data gathering, and development of data management software and decision support tools. Individual project objectives are listed in the table below, with the project’s lead organization and the associated Program Element indicated. All of these challenges are the targets of the current portfolio of projects in the Environmental Program.

Project Portfolio The Environmental Program aims to find solutions to these and other environmental concerns, by focusing on the following program elements: 1) fracture flowback and produced water treatment and management, particularly in gas shale development areas, 2) water resource management in oil and gas basins, 3) environmental impact mitigation, and 4) development of decision-making tools that help operators balance resource development and environmental protection.
