Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002124
This notice, titled "Opp Not for Parties Interested in Partnering with NETL" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0002124), was issued by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) on June 28, 2019, with an original closing date of July 9, 2019. It is categorized as a discretionary energy-related opportunity and uses an "Other" funding instrument type, which signals that it is not being presented as a standard standalone grant competition in the usual sense. Instead, it functions as an invitation for organizations to express interest in partnering with NETL in connection with a separate, primary DOE funding opportunity.
The purpose of the notice is to identify potential partners who would like to collaborate with NETL if NETL is selected for an award under the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0002083, titled "Subsurface Stress and Lost Circulation in Geothermal Drilling." In practical terms, this means NETL is seeking to build or strengthen project teams ahead of, or alongside, the EERE FOA process, specifically for work focused on subsurface stress challenges and lost circulation problems encountered during geothermal drilling. Lost circulation refers to drilling fluids unintentionally flowing into fractures or porous rock formations rather than returning to the surface, which can increase costs, slow operations, and complicate well construction. Subsurface stress characterization and management are closely tied to understanding how and why these losses happen and how to mitigate them, making the topic central to improving geothermal drilling performance and economics.
Eligibility for this partnering notice is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full text of the announcement. The listing includes CFDA number 81.087, which is commonly associated with DOE energy efficiency and renewable energy assistance programs. The notice indicates an award ceiling of "2" (as presented in the source data) and "Expected Awards: 0," which reinforces that this particular posting is not structured as a conventional funding solicitation expected to result directly in awards. Rather, the key outcome is likely the formation of teaming arrangements, partner lists, or collaboration discussions that NETL could draw upon if it were to receive funding under the related EERE FOA.
Overall, the opportunity can be read as a short-deadline call for capabilities and interest from companies, universities, national laboratory collaborators, nonprofits, or other organizations that could contribute expertise, technology, research capacity, field experience, modeling, diagnostics, materials, or drilling methods relevant to geothermal subsurface stress and lost circulation. The tight window between posting and closing (about 11 days) suggests it was intended for rapid market research and partner identification aligned to the schedule of the underlying EERE FOA, with NETL positioning itself to assemble strong collaborative teams for any eventual project work stemming from "Subsurface Stress and Lost Circulation in Geothermal Drilling."Apply for DE FOA 0002124
