Program description: The Mission of the NPTP is to move our Nation toward a reliable, economic oil supply, enhance U.S. technological leadership and protect the environment. Working together with our customers, the NPTP promotes key activities and policies that move us closer to our goal to improve efficiency and environmental quality of domestic oil operations.
The Vision of the NPTP is a domestic oil resource at its fullest potential, contributing to the Nation’s energy security, economic growth, environmental quality, and science and technological leadership. The United States leads the world in the advancement of oil technologies. A key contributing factor in the success of the NPTP is the customer-driven approach to public-private partnerships which contribute to the development of technologies, regulatory streamlining, and policies that support increased oil supplies. DOE’s RD&D acts as a catalyst for increasing domestic oil production. In turn, this supports the reliability and affordability of energy supplies and the stability of energy markets, providing an essential foundation for U.S. economic strength and the global economy. By offsetting increased oil imports, domestic production also enhances U.S. energy security, contributes positively to the U.S. balance of trade, increases economic activity and creates high-paying jobs.
The Goals of the NPTP are designed to enhance the efficiency and environmental quality of domestic oil operations. R&D programs conducted in partnership with universities, State and local governments, industry and others emphasize private sector participation through industry cost-sharing to ensure relevance and encourage technology transfer. In this way, the NPTP leverages the Federal R&D investment.
