Environmentally Friendly Drilling Systems Program

Texas A&M, the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) and TerraPlatforms, along with industry sponsors and stakeholders (NGO's, government agencies, others) operate a program integrating advanced technologies into systems that significantly reduce the impact of petroleum drilling and production in environmentally sensitive areas.

The team focuses on technologies that reduce the environmental and societal tradeoffs associated with the development of energy sources.

The objective is to identify, develop and transfer critical, cost effective, new technologies that can provide policy makers and industry with the ability to develop US domestic reserves in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
