The team of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, Denbury Resources, Inc., Geological Survey of Alabama, Southern Company Services, Inc., University of Alabama, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and University of North Carolina at Charlotte have entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, to evaluate the potential for carbon-dioxide-enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide sequestration in the Citronelle Oil Field in Mobile County, Alabama. The contract between the lead organization, The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the Department of Energy was fully executed on February 19, 2007. Subcontracts between UAB and the partners are expected to be complete by approximately May 11, 2007. In spite of this schedule, the project is well underway, with the full involvement and significant contributions from each of the partners during the quarter under review. The entire research team has met twice, on November 21 and April 10, to plan the work, resolve questions, and identify potential barriers to progress.
