Govt. grant pays for Web site application to up gas, oil output
KU scientists received a federal grant last week to develop a Web site that will help companies enhance oil and gas production in Kansas.
The $754,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy will help pay for a three-year petroleum research project at the Kansas Geological Survey.
The survey will contribute about $225,000 in labor and staff time to the project, said Barb McClain, the survey's associate director for administration.
The centerpiece of the project will be the creation of Web applications software to be used by petroleum companies and consultants, said Lynn Watney, senior scientist at the survey.

"We're going to be developing computer software to help us implement an integrated Web site designed to build reservoir models." Watne said.
The Web site will draw from a database called the Digital Petroleum Atlas, which compiles information about oil and gas production in Kansas such as rock analyses, maps and well histories.
The online software component will help oil and gas companies make sense out of huge amounts of data in designing and implementing projects. Watney said.
Companies will save time and money with help from the survey's site said Tim Carr, survey

"Rather than just rummaging through a big pile of paper electronically, they can focus on the data they need to produce more oil and gas." Carr said. "A major cost in exploring and producing oil and gas is the acquisition and the interpretation of that data."
and gas companies in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma would participate in the project by giving feedback on the software designed by the survey's team.

The grant will make it possible to integrate the database and software development.
Survey members have worked on the project in its initial stages for the last five years, Watney said. In addition to creating the database, they have designed software programs with the support of the Department of Energy, the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation and private industries.
"I'm just delighted that we have this opportunity to bring our data and software together in this type of application that should benefit industry as well as our research program," Watney said.

Highways fatal during holiday weekend
The Associated Press
At least seven people have been killed on Kansas highways during the extended holiday weekend.
Patrick Michael Kappler, 23, of Chanute, died Monday morning on U.S. 169 north of Chanute. The Kansas Highway Patrol said he was killed when the vehicle driven by his wife, Sunshine Barton Kappler, 18, was struck in the passenger side while attempting a turn in front of an oncoming pickup truck.
The truck's driver and passenger were not injured.
Miami County Sheriff's officials said Duane Bolling, 17, of Paola, died Sunday when he ran a stop sign and collided with a car in rural Miami County.
Authorities said a man died Sunday morning in southwest Wichita after a motorist found a wrecked car under a severed utility pole. The driver, whose identity was not available from
police yesterday afternoon, died later at a hospital.
Police said investigators said they believed the man may have suffered from a medical condition that caused the accident. There were no skid marks at the scene and some medical supplies were found on the car's front seat.
In northeast Kansas, two accidents that occurred moments apart on a foggy highway ir Brown County left two people dead Saturday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the first crash occurred about 6:30 a.m. Saturday when a tractor-trailer pulled out of the Kickapoo Truck Stop and turned onto southbound U.S. 75. A northbound pickup truck braked, but slid under the tractor-trailer.
The pickup's driver, Timothy C. Baker, 35, of Soldier, was killed instantly, the patrol said.
About three minutes later, a southbound sport utility vehicle carrying four members of an Indiana family tried to swerve around the tractor-trailer but clipped its side, then overturned
in a ditch. said the patrol.
All four people in the sport utility vehicle were thrown out. The driver, Steven N. Meyers, 36, of Angola, Ind., was killed. Three were taken to area hospitals.
In north-central Kansas, Elizabeth Bohnert,
14, of Superior, Neb., died shortly after 8 p.m.
Friday when the car she was riding in went out
of control on a Lovewell street in Jewell County
and overturned in a ditch, the patrol said.
Adam Thomas Lefler, 22, of Fayetteville, Ark., was killed about 8:25 p.m. Friday when the sport utility vehicle he was driving lost control and rolled over on Interstate 135, about 13 miles north of McPherson, the patrol said.
Last year, Kansas recorded 588 road accidents with five fatalities during the 78-hour Fourth of July holiday traffic period, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
This year's 102-hour holiday traffic period began at 6 p.m. Friday and ended at midnight.
