   Partnerships
 

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.

The MMS has established a number of key partnerships. Information about our partnership initiatives is available through the information listed below.
