(d) Analysis Under the program, the Secretary shall— (1) estimate the remaining producible reserves based on variable pipeline pressures; and (2) recommend measures that will enable the continued production of those resources. (e) Study (1) In general The Secretary may award a grant to an organization of States that contain significant numbers of marginal oil and natural gas wells to conduct an annual study of low-volume natural gas reservoirs. (2) Organization with no GIS capabilities If an organization receiving a grant under paragraph (1) does not have GIS capabilities, the organization shall contract with an institution of higher education with GIS capabilities. (3) State geologists The organization receiving a grant under paragraph (1) shall collaborate with the State geologist of each State being studied.
