The Gas Research Institute (GRI) recently opened a fourth natural gas supply information center that allows gas producers ready access to GRI's most recent research results.
Located in the reference library of Allied Geophysical Laboratories at the University of Houston, the center is open to everyone.
GRI describes the center as containing up-to-date information on natural gas production from conventional, gas shale, coal seam, and tight gas sand reservoirs. Topics include geology and geosciences, well stimulation and completion, reserve appreciation, environmental implications of producing and processing natural gas, quality control, and field operations.
Photocopying and reports are free for GRI members. Nonmembers are charged. Anyone can obtain, without cost, information searches.
The center's staff conducts searches and gathers information on topics from available published and unpublished GRI reports, subscription data bases, and publications housed in the host school's natural gas exploration and production library.
The first information center was opened in 1985 at the Colorado School of Mines. It and the second center, at the University of Alabama, initially specialized in coalbed methane. Now both of these centers and the third one, at Marietta College, Ohio, all contain the same information as this new center at the University of Houston.
Telephone number of the center is 713-743-9158.
