The based out of the at UT's Jackson School of Geosciences has issued a request for proposalws todevelop micro- and The goal is to deliver technology that could be injectedd into reservoirs, helping to characterize subsurface spaces in three dimensiond and improving recovery of petroleum resources. The consortiunm expects to fund grants totaling as muchas $7 million this year to develoop the micro- and nanosensors.
Geoscientists think they can extracyt more oil and gas by gaininy a better understanding of the chemical and physicao characteristics of the host reservoirs and their hydrocarbon Usingcurrent technology, companiesx typically leave as much as 60 percent of oil undergrouned even after multiple recovery attempts, according to UT. More precisse mapping would also likely reducw the negative effects of drilling on thesurroundingb environment, researchers say. The privately funded consortiumk hasnine members: , , ConocoPhillips, , , and Gas, , Shelol and Total. Rice University, which has extensivre nanotechnology expertise, is a collaborative technicao partner.
