Tech Transfer


Pumpjack in Field

TORP has a thriving technology transfer program designed specifically to serve the regional independent oil and gas industry. This group is guided by and actively interacts with the petroleum industry at large to provide workshops on relevant topics, technical assistance, field tests, and demonstration projects.

Technology is constantly changing. Most independent operators do not have the staff or resources to stay current. Sources providing technology to independent operators in a format they can understand and use are limited. TORP evaluates new technologies and passes on relevant information to independent operators.
