The Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) is a 10,000-acre U.S. Department of Energy facility located within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 (NPR-3) also known as Teapot Dome Oil Field, about 35 miles north of Casper, Wyoming.

RMOTC partners with service companies and equipment manufacturers to test new ideas and products leading to increased recovery or reduced operating costs. Independent oil producers leverage technologies tested at RMOTC by evaluating new recovery processes before application. Inventors test, evaluate, demonstrate, and transfer new technologies to the oil and gas industry. Environmental companies explore ways to prevent and manage environmental risks. National laboratories and government organizations field test theoretical laboratory assumptions in a real world setting. Universities teaching theory in the classroom demonstrate the real-life application in the field and conduct leading-edge research.

RMOTC provides:

• The link between development and getting your technology to the industry
  
  
• The opportunity to field test, document and demonstrate the benefits of your technology
  
  
• The opportunity to leverage your dollars with those of RMOTC via cost sharing
  
  
• Acceptance of the risks of production loss in a producing well
  
  
• A large geologic database, facilities, and support staff
  
  
• Professional staff with operating expertise and equipment to tweak your ideas on-site during the test, in an actual situation, not a simulated laboratory test
  
  
• Adaptability, simulate offshore operations or renewable energy sources, for example
  
  
• Neutrality, no vested interest in any specific technology, only in supporting the energy industry by increasing production, decreasing production costs, or lessening the environmental footprint
  

RMOTC offers:

• Oil and Gas Production (artificial lift, operations, enhanced oil recovery)
  
  
• Drilling (oil and gas, geothermal, mining)
  
  
• Renewable Energy (geothermal, solar, wind)
  
  
• Flow Assurance
  
  
• Bio-remediation and Beneficial Use of Produced Water
  
  
• Well Completions
  
  
• Geology, Geophysics, and Petrophysics
