Vision The vision of the Crisman Institute for Petroleum Research is to provide a vehicle to enhance development of petroleum engineering technology through cutting-edge, industry-directed research conducted in four dedicated research Centers in the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University. The Crisman Institute for Petroleum Research identifies and solves significant research problems of major interest to industry and government. The Institute conducts it efforts in four research Centers: the Halliburton Center for Unconventional Resources, the Chevron Center for Well Construction and Production, the Schlumberger Center for Reservoir Description and Dynamics, and the Center for Energy, Environment and Transportation Innovation. Industry and governmental representatives can help identify problems of major significance and support projects of particular interest to them through membership at the Institute, Center, or Project level. Additionally, membership provides seed money for identification and initiation of research into additional problems facing the industry. Mission » The mission of the Crisman Institute for Petroleum Research is to produce significant advances in upstream petroleum engineering technology through the combined efforts of faculty, post-doctoral researchers, highly qualified graduate students, in close cooperation with industry. » The mission of the Halliburton Center for Unconventional Resources is to increase our ability to characterize reserves of unconventional resources and to develop new, more efficient ways to reduce costs and improve recovery of these resources. » The mission of the Chevron Center for Well Construction and Production is to develop new tools, both theoretical and physical, to construct and complete wells in today’s increasingly challenging environments in a way that will reduce the finding and development costs. » The mission of the Schlumberger Center for Reservoir Description and Dynamics is to develop better approaches to describe and model petroleum reservoirs and to manage the resources identified there to reduce costs and improve recovery. » The mission of the Center for Energy, Environment, and Transportation Innovation is to form an interdisciplinary collaboration to study the needs of a 21 st century transportation system addressing energy, environment, and social issues. Objectives The Crisman Institute and its four Centers have seven primary objectives: » Work with industry and government representatives to identify the most important problems now facing the upstream petroleum industry and those that arise in the future. » Focus our efforts on solutions to as many of the identified problems as possible within the framework of available resources. » Develop solutions that will be immediately useful in the industry. » Maintain a clearinghouse of research efforts, tracking not only research in progress but also results of completed projects and perspectives on research possibilities for the future. » Continuously upgrade the problem-solving capabilities of the Institute through ongoing faculty development strategies and pursuit of outstanding post-doctoral and graduate students. » Ensure financial stability to continue to provide long-term solutions to technology-development problems. » Publicize the activities of the Institute and the contributions of the membership who make those activities possible.

Summary The Crisman Institute has two main purposes. One purpose is based on the Vision, Mission and Objectives which is to do high-quality research. Another purpose is to help alleviate the manpower shortage that companies are experiencing. As we all know, the world needs more engineers and scientists, especially in the oil and gas industry. We are helping with this by producing more high-quality engineers over the last several years as shown in the tables below.
