Providing technology and information for the oil and gas industry
Kansas University Energy Research Center
1930 Constant Ave., Lawrence, Ks. 66047-3626

The Petroleum Technology Transfer Council (PTTC) was formed by the U.S. oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry to improve technology transfer to producers, primarily independents. Its mission is:

1. to identify priority technical problems of producers and communicate them to the R&D community
2. to transfer upstream E&P technologies to help domestic producers reduce costs, improve operating efficiency, increase ultimate recovery, enhance environmental compliance, and add new oil and gas reserves.

The PTTC serves as an integrated clearinghouse for E&P technology information and as a national umbrella organization for technology and R&D providers. It does not perform or fund R&D. The Regional Lead Organization operates through the Kansas University Energy Research Center with support from the Kansas Geological Survey and the Tertiary Oil Recovery Project. The North Midcontinent Region of the PTTC is led by Rodney Reynolds (785) 864-7398 reynolds@cpe.engr.ukans.edu. The Producer Advisory Group is led by Jim Daniels of Murfin Drilling Co.
