The OEMM actively seeks
partnerships with stakeholders who are involved with, or affected by, oil and
gas resource management activities. Not only do partnerships result in
important consensus building, but within the current environment of
ever-constrained budgets, they also afford an opportunity for leveraging
dollars and accomplishing research objectives that might not be attainable
otherwise.
