Opportunity Listing - Improved Oil and Gas Recovery and Produced Water Management Technologies Improved Oil and Gas Recovery and Produced Water Management Technologies Agency: National Energy Technology Laboratory Assistance Listings: 81. 089 -- Fossil Energy Research and Development Last Updated: July 24, 2026 View version history on Grants. gov Modification 000003: The purpose of this modification is to revise NOFO Part 1.
Section I. A. 1 is revised to correct the Topic Area 1b cost share to 20% and Section IV.
C. 2 is revised to delete the Environmental Considerations Summary and Environmental Impact Volume from the Summary of Application Requirements table. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will seek proposals for specific research and development (R&D) projects to improve recovery efficiency from unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs and to advance technologies for the treatment of flowback and produced water from oil and...
natural gas production operations. Despite increasing energy for demand, recovery efficiency for oil and natural gas from unconventional reservoirs can average less than 10 percent. This NOFO will enable rapid field deployment of a variety of novel technologies and processes related to improving primary and enhanced recovery with the goal of significantly improving resource recovery and accelerating industry uptake.
This NOFO will also support the field testing and validation of water treatment technologies of produced water from oil and natural gas production operations to avoid deep well injection and potential issues with induced seismicity and interaction with underground sources of drinking water.
The following types of domestic entities are eligible to participate as a recipient or subrecipient of this NOFO: • Institutions of higher education (as defined in Title 20 U.S.C. § 1001) • For-profit organizations • Nonprofit organizations • State and local government entities • Indian Tribes (as defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, 25 U.S.C. § 5304) Grantor contact information Jessica G.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
Read articleOn September 21, 2026 DOE selected 21 projects under DE-FOA-0003472 — five EGS field tests and 16 exploration wells — for up to $99 million of a $171.5 million authorization. The solicitation is structured to reopen for up to 72 months on roughly annual cycles. Here is how to position for the next one.
Read articleDOE just committed $171.5M for next-gen geothermal field tests and $30M for superhot rock drilling through ARPA-E. With eight bipartisan permitting bills advancing and solar/wind credits being phased out, geothermal has become the administration's preferred clean energy bet.
