Oil Technology Program E&P Detailed Project Summaries

Oil and natural gas are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Together they account for more than 60 percent of the energy consumed in the United States, and oil accounts for 97 percent of transportation fuel. Although the United States is the third-largest oil producer in the world, we import about 60 percent of our oil needs, while two-thirds of all the oil discovered in the country remains in the ground.
