Background/History of the Laboratory:
Rocky Mountain
Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) partners include service
companies and equipment manufacturers who test new ideas and
products leading to increased recovery or reduced operating
costs. Independent oil producers leverage technologies tested
at RMOTC by evaluating new recovery processes before
application. Inventors test, evaluate, demonstrate, and
transfer new technologies to the oil & gas industry.
Environmental companies explore ways to prevent and manage
environmental risks. National laboratories and government
organizations field test theoretical laboratory assumptions
in a real world setting, and universities teaching theory in
the classroom demonstrate the real-life application in the
field.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The mission of
the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center program is to
ensure America's energy security by working with industry
and academia to develop technologies that increase
production, improve recovery, lower costs, and reduce
environmental impact. RMOTC supports the goals of the
National Energy Policy, the Office of Fossil Energy, and the
U.S. Department of Energy. Each and every project contributes
in some way to the Nation's energy security, economic
growth, or technology leadership. Technologies tested at
RMOTC are found in applications worldwide.
