• The Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI) resides in the School of Energy Resources and contributes to both the re - search and outreach components of that School. • The EORI is financially supported by the Wyoming State Legislature and is mandated to promote the recovery of Wyoming’s stranded oil. • Funding is provided to the Enhanced Oil Recovery Commis- sion (EORC), appointed by the Governor, and is transferred to UW through a Memorandum of Understanding. • The EORC oversees the financial and procedural issues re - garding the EORI. • The technical activities of the EORI are overseen by a Tech- nical Advisory Board (TAB) that is selected by the EORI Di - rector from scientists, engineers and economists in aca- demia, government and industry, and currently includes three members of the National Academy. • EORI budgets are developed on a biennial basis by the Di - rector and approved by the EORC, the Governor, the Joint Appropriations Committee and the Legislature. • The EORI directly employs scientists and engineers (most often as research scientists) whose skill sets and activities contribute to the EORI mandate. • The EORI supports regular faculty, post doctoral research- ers, graduate students and research scientists whose skill sets and activities support the EORI mandate. Currently this type of support is being provided to individuals and programs in the departments of Economics and Finance, Chemical and Petroleum Engineering and Mathematics. • The EORI temporarily contracts with specialists or other- wise arranges for their services as required by ongoing or planned technical projects. • The outreach component of the Institute’s mission is sup- ported by its basic and applied research activities and in- cludes collaborative studies arranged through confidenti - ality agreements, scoping studies using the EORI database, and the formation of operator consortia (strategic allianc- es) on topics of mutual interest. • The dissemination of technical information is provided through professional meetings, workshops, seminars and public lectures arranged and/or sponsored by the EORI. http://eori.uwyo.edu E NHANCED O IL R ECOVERY I NSTITUTE 1
