This program, which focuses on the technology challenges of small producers, targets in its 2007 Annual Plan advancing technology for mature fields.  The selected projects will provide the technology to enable small producers to extract the maximum amount of oil and natural gas out of their existing asset base and continue to make their important contribution to the nation&#8217;s energy needs, said RPSEA President C. Michael Ming. The Small Producer Program is designed to bring the resources of America&#8217;s leading universities, research institutions and technology innovators to bear on the problems facing small producers trying to enhance production from mature fields....

			<title>NEWSALERT:  RPSEA Receives Strong Response to Initial Requests for Proposal</title>
			<description> SUGAR LAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) is pleased to announce a strong response to the two initial FY2007 Requests for Proposals (RFPs) issued under the Ultra-Deepwater and Unconventional Natural Gas and Other Petroleum Resources Research and Development Program. RPSEA is under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to administer this program which is authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The two initial RFPs, which were for RPSEA&#8217;s Unconventional Onshore Program and Small Producer Program, were released on October 17, 2007, with responses due December 3, 2007. Proposals received are well in excess of the available funding for both programs. A total of 50 proposals were received in response to the $13.9 million Unconventional Onshore Program which focuses on gas shales, coal bed methane produced water, and tight gas sands. A total of 17 proposals were received...

&lt;div&gt;Natural gas and crude oil provide two-thirds of our Nation&#8217;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.&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Program Elements</title>
			<description>  The program directed by RPSEA is to, maximize the value of natural gas and other petroleum resources of the United States by increasing the supply of such resources, through reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of exploration for and production of such resources, while improving safety and minimizing environmental impact. This program shall address the following areas:      Ultra-deepwater architecture and technology, including drilling to formations in the Outer Continental Shelf to depths greater than 15,000 feet;    Unconventional natural gas and other petroleum resource exploration and production technology; and    The technology challenges of small producers.

			<title>Small Producer Program</title>
			<description>The nature of United States domestic petroleum and natural gas production has changed over the years. Maturing production areas in the lower 48 states and the need to respond to shareholder expectations have resulted in major integrated petroleum companies shifting their exploration and production focus toward the offshore and foreign countries. Consequently, the role of the independent producer has become far more significant to domestic onshore petroleum production. For example, the independent share of the lower 48 states petroleum production increased from 45 percent in the mid-1980s to over 60 percent by 1995. Even more impressively, independent producers have been responsible for all of the major onshore discoveries since 1990.        The fundamental uniqueness of independent producers and their role in supplying the nations energy must be recognized and addressed. There are thousands of independent oil and natural gas producers across the United States, and according to data...
