This is a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management. This announcement aligns with Department of Energy's Office of Resource Sustainability’s Methane Mitigation Technologies Program to develop advanced tools and technologies that will significantly reduce methane emissions and other environmental impacts associated with undocumented orphaned wells. This announcement will be focused on addressing the technical challenges of measuring, quantifying, and mitigating methane emissions from undocumented orphaned wells. This announcement will support the undocumented orphaned wells subprogram by soliciting research on new processes and development of new materials, tools, and technologies for wellbore characterization, effective plugging, and abandonment operations, and pre and post plugging and abandonment emissions monitoring. Instructions for this FOA can be found at FedConnect.
