SUMMARY: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is entering into a 
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Advanced 
Resource International (ARI) of Arlington, VA. The purpose of the CRADA 
is to compare and evaluate Nationwide natural gas resource assessments 
and to identify frontier gas resources for short and medium-term needs. 
Joint studies will be undertaken to identify Lower-48 states gas 
supplies that will fulfill future gas demand projections; identify 
technical obstacles which impede development of these gas supplies; and 
develop efficient and cost effective exploitation technologies through 
the implementation and facilitation of pertinent research and 
development. Any other organizations interested in pursuing the 
possibility of a CRADA for similar kinds of activities should contact 
the USGS.
