Chevron has formed a research alliance with the University of Texas, Austin, to develop enhanced oil-recovery technologies. Under the agreement, Chevron Energy Technology will pay up to $5 million over the next five years to the university's Center for Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering.

The partners will also develop numerical models for simulating enhanced oil-recovery processes.
