In Aug. 1979, the Economic Regulatory Administration of the Department of Energy amended 10 CFR Section 212.78 of the Mandatory Petroleum Price Regulations to provide producers with front-end money to offset certain costs associated with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. Producers could obtain this incentive by selling at market prices crude oil currently produced by or for the interest of the producers. The action was intended to increase domestic crude oil production by lessening the level of risk involved in the use of EOR techniques and, thus, encourage the application of EOR techniques in a wide range of situations. The action was announced in the Aug. 30, 1979, issue of the Federal Register and at the annual DOE symposium on enhanced oil recovery. Through that program, the ERA received 423 project applications. The projects, except for 7 which were withdrawn, are listed in tabular form giving company, company location, and project location.
