.., JJJ331 Program Ti tle: Oil and Gas Act, 1967: resource. Resource Inventory and Evaluation (Enabling liTo inventory and analyze the State's mineral ,") Target Public: Entire population of the State of Colorado. Purpose: Provide technical input relative to the significant ..~l:sources cf both oil and gas in Colorado to planners arid decision-makers in State and local governmental agencies, industry, and the general public. Data on currently producing fields (e.g. remaining producible reserves, volumes of petroleum potentially recoverable by enhanced recove.y technology, etc.) will assist in predicting future revenues from taxes imposed upon production and equipment. Information regarding those areas in Colorado potentially productive of oil and/or gas will (l) assist in planning for both multiple and sequential use of both State and Federal lands, (2) sti- mulate more efficient and orderly development of our.petro- leum reserves, (3) result in improved energy planning and utilization in the State, (4) improve the discovery efficiency of industry and therby conserve risk capital, and (5) enhance the overall economic base of Colorado; Program Title: Enero,v Mana~ement Data Svstem (Enabling Act, 1967: "To assist, consult with, and advise. . ,state and local governmental agencies. . .to promote economic development of mineral resource. . . to advise the state and act as liaison agency on transactions dealing with natural re- sources between state agencies and with otrer states and "the federat government. .11) Target Public: Entire population of the State of Colorado.
