A team of researchers has developed a science plan to train students using active research in quantitative numerical modeling of petroleum systems through an industrial affiliates program at Stanford University. The plan was developed with the cooperation and support of the School of Earth Sciences, including the Department of Geological & Environmental Science and the new Center for Computational Earth & Environmental Science (CEES) at Stanford University. Integrated Exploration Systems (IES GmbH® ) provides the modeling software, PetroMod® , and expertise to further enhance the students learning experience. Our goal is to become a recognized center of excellence for training and research in visualization and quantification of the geohistory of petroleum systems. The primary objectives are to: (1) train the next generation of petroleum systems modelers, (2) devise quantitative tools that, in combination with assessment methodology, can be used to rigorously evaluate geologic risk in various exploration settings, and (3) conduct basic and applied energy-focused research.

USGS - Cooperative Research and Development Agreement

www.usgs.gov/tech-transfer/what-crada.html

A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is a written agreement between a private company and a government agency to work together on a project. Created as a result of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980, as amended by the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986, a CRADA allows the Federal government and non-Federal partners to optimize their resources, share technical expertise in a protected environment, share intellectual property emerging from the effort, and speed the commercialization of federally developed technology.
