The Western Gas Sands research project is a part of the Department of Energy's Unconventional Gas Recovery Program, managed by the Morgantown Energy Technology Center. The goal of the research is to build the scientific and engineering knowledge base for the production of natural gas from unconventional resources found in complex geologic environments and representing high technical risk. Research is currently focused on resolving the technical uncertainties in order to encourage development of these resources by the private industry sector. The Third Annual Western Gas Sands Program Review was held in Morgantown, West Virginia, on November 7 an 8, 1984. The objectives of the conference were: To review the technical performance and current status of Western Gas Sands research in Fiscal Year 1984. To foster interdisciplinary technical information exchange between researchers from the geological, generic, and production research elements of the project. To provide planning information for advancement of Western Gas Sands research. Fifty-three individuals from academia, government, and national laboratories participated in the review. Twenty-two presentations which were made during the one and one-half day conference, are included in this proceedings. All of these papers have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
