SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Grant Number: DE-FG22-94BC14854
Title of the Research Effort: ``Midland Core Repository''
Awardee: University of Texas, Bureau of Geology
Term of Assistance Effort: Sixty (60) months
Grant Estimated Total Value: $700,000.00 (DOE: $400,000.00; Cost-
Sharing: $300,000.00)
Objective: The objective of this effort is to provide a means of 
assisting the public in the utilization of a public core repository. 
The goal is to assist industry with maximizing recovery from domestic 
oil reservoirs by providing a facility that will preserve and make 
accessible a collection of irreplaceable core samples from wells in 
reservoirs throughout the United States. In order for small operators 
to be able to economically conduct development of existing fields and 
exploration for new oil resources there is a need for geologic data, 
including cores, from the existing fields.
Justification: Implementation of the proposed grant is based upon the 
authority of 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(B). This is a sixty month research 
effort with an estimated value of $700,000.00 (DOE: $400,000.00; Total 
Cost-Sharing: $300,000.00). The research developed under this grant 
will be cost-shared by the Department of Energy and the University of 
Texas.
