SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Grant No.
    DE-FG22-96BC14850
Title of Research Effort
    ``Research Consortium on Fractured Petroleum Reservoirs''
Awardee
    Reservoir Engineering Research Institute
Term of Assistance Effort
    Thirty-six (36) months
Cost of Assistance Effort
    The total estimated value is $1,520,000
The DOE share of funding for this program study is $300,000.00

Objective
    The objective of this effort is to continue research along the 
previous line and conduct research in four areas: (1) Miscible 
displacement in fractured porous media, (2) Critical gas saturation, 
(3) Immiscible gas-oil gravity drainage in fractured/layered media, and 
(4) Water injection in fractured porous media. The study based on each 
of these tasks will include an analytical or experimental phase to be 
conducted in conjunction with the theoretical research.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i) criteria (A), the 
Reservoir Engineering Research Institute has been selected as the grant 
recipient. (A) The grant is a continuation of an activity presently 
being funded by DOE and for which competition for support would have a 
significant adverse effect on continuity or completion of the activity.
