Research Grant: $715,000 to fund UL research

[NewsCopy]

Research at UL focused on oil and gas exploration received a $715,000 boost recently for its Gulf Petro Initiative. The initiative seeks to develop advanced technologies for oil and gas exploration using the capabilities of the Louisiana Immersive Technologies (LITE) Center. U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, announced the grant Tuesday and worked to help the university secure the grant from the Department of Energy. "As oil prices continue to climb, increasing American energy production is critical to meeting this pressing challenge, and this grant will help professors and students at UL-Lafayette develop the next generation of production techniques to generate more oil in the most responsible ways possible," Boustany said in a press release. "I am excited UL-Lafayette continues to lead the way in energy production technology and innovation. Their continued success is directly tied to America's ability to become more energy independent."

I sure hope the geology department gets in on this one. The article didn't mention it but I'm sure they will be involved in some capacity.

don't worry about the Geology Dept, buddy. I've got some things in the works and you will be contacted very shortly about getting access to your newly enhanced pocketbook.

Hey, alumni support (including financial!) is critical to advancing the university. So, cough up some of that big salary you're raking in, big boy!
