DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Morgantown Energy Technology Center Grant; Financial Assistance
Award To Maurer Engineering, Inc.
AGENCY: Morgantown Energy Technology Center, Department of Energy
(DOE).
ACTION: Notice of acceptance of an unsolicited financial assistance
application for Grant award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Based upon a determination made pursuant to 10 CFR
600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) the DOE, Morgantown Energy Technology Center gives
notice of its plans to award a 24 month Grant to Maurer Engineering,
Inc. with an associated budget of approximately $180K of which the
Sandia National Laboratory will cost share approximately 45 percent.

Laura E. Brandt, I-07, U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy
Technology Center, P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, West Virginia 26507-0880;
Telephone: (304) 291-4079. Procurement Request No. 21-94MC31171.000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The pending award is based on an unsolicited
application for the project entitled ``Evaluate Russian Advanced
Drilling Technology''. The overall objective of this project is to
evaluate Russian drilling motor and drill bit technology to eliminate
unnecessary research in advanced drilling in the United States. This
effort will compare Russian and United States technologies utilizing
from 4-6 Russian experts. Based on their personal experiences,
literature reviews, and personal interviews, the grantee will complete
a document identifying areas where each country leads technically,
where each technology compliments each other, and where cooperative
Research and Development (R&D) would be beneficial. One of the DOE's
missions is to accelerate the development of new drilling technology
products that will reduce cost or improve efficiency for drilling new
oil and gas wells in the U.S. This proposed effort will enable the
Government to evaluate a wide variety of advance drilling technology
research areas that are poorly understood in the U.S. Performance of
this study has the potential to save millions of dollars in duplication
of effort in performing advanced drilling technology research
potentially already completed by the Russians. The development of U.S.
based advanced drilling systems will permit the gas industry to have
the appropriate drilling technology to develop competitive sources of
natural gas in the future. The assurance of a reliable supply of
natural gas over the next 2 to 3 decades will do much to ease the U.S.
dependence on imported oil until substitute sources of energy can be
developed. The proposed effort will provide clear benefits to the
general public as regards the future of U.S. energy.
