Technology Transfer Act of 1986; Proposed Cooperative Research 
and Development Agreement Negotiations

AGENCY: United States Geological Survey, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed cooperative research and development 
agreement (CRADA) negotiations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is planning to 
enter a cooperative research and development agreement with several 
major oil companies. The purpose of the CRADA is to conduct geological 
field studies on Devonian and Carboniferous carbonate reefs and 
carbonate platforms in Kazakhstan that will lead to the development of 
predictive petroleum-focused models that can serve as useful analogs 
for interpreting the subsurface nature of facies belts, stratigraphic 
cyclicity, and distribution of potential reservoir, seal, and source-
rock facies in the North Caspian basin and in other carbonate basins of 
the former Soviet Union.
    Any other oil companies or organizations interested in pursuing the 
possibility of a CRADA for similar kinds of activities should contact 
the USGS.

ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be addressed to the Chief, Branch of 
Sedimentary Processes, U.S. Geological Survey, Box 25046, MS 939, 
Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dr. Harry E. Cook, Branch of Sedimentary Processes, U.S. Geological 
Survey, MS 999, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025; Telephone 
(415) 354-3007, FAX (415) 354-3224, E-Mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is to meet the USGS requirement 
stipulated in the Survey Manual.

    Dated: April 18, 1994.

Chief, Geologic Division.
