NOTES: US Department of Energy contractor review meeting on natural gas research and development, Morgantown, WV (United States), 5-6 May 1992.

ABSTRACT:

The Natural Gas Research and Development Contractors Review Meeting was held May 5 and 6, 1992, at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) in Morgantown, West Virginia. This meeting was sponsored and hosted by the Morgantown Energy Technology Center of the US Department of Energy (DOE).  The purpose of this meeting was to present key results of research in the DOE-sponsored Natural Gas Program and to transfer technology to the interested public. Over the past year, the DOE Natural Gas Research and Development Program has been broadened in scope to include geoscience aspects of conventional gas recovery, gas utilization, and research to recover additional gas from producing or previously produced fields. Major emphasis is on activities in Eastern Gas, Western Gas, Secondary Gas Recovery, Natural Gas to Liquids, Low-Quality Natural Gas, Gas Hydrates, Deep Gas, and Development of Gas Atlases/Database. With increased national emphasis on the use of natural gas, this forum was expanded to include summaries of DOE-sponsored research in energy-related programs and Gas Research Institute programs and on perspectives of industry research.  Thirty-one papers and eighteen poster presentations were given in five formal sessions, and one informal session. Selected papers have been processed separately for inclusion in the database.
