The nation’s oil and natural gas supply problem is the target of new federal legislation that will enhance historically successful government research programs with a new structure for increasing industry’s involvement in developing technology- based solutions. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) has led to a new, three-part approach that includes:

In August 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Included in the bill is the “Ultra-Deepwater and Unconventional Natural Gas and Other Petroleum Resources Research and Development Program,” a revolutionary initiative which will provide US $50 million per year for 10 years for the research, development, demonstration and commercial application of technologies

Natural gas and crude oil provide two-thirds of our Nation’s primary energy supply and will continue to do so for at least the next several decades, even as we transition to a more sustainable energy future. The natural gas resource estimated to exist within the United States is large, but because this resource is increasingly harder to locate and produce, new technologies are required to extract it in a timely manner that will support a growing economy.
