The Energy and Geoscience Institute (EGI) at the University of Utah is a not-for-profit research organization with a 25-year record of conducting multidisciplinary research projects worldwide. Through cooperative agreements with universities and research institutes, government agencies and laboratories, and national energy companies worldwide, the Institute undertakes a broad range of projects on all seven continents.

EGI's professional staff of scientists in Salt Lake City and adjunct staff in Houston, Calgary, and London are supplemented by a global network of collaborating scientists and engineers.

EGI's fossil energy projects, generally conducted jointly with prominent research organizations abroad, encompass petroleum basins of the former Soviet Union, North Africa and the Middle East, Central and South America, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, China, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. These studies range in scope from basin analysis and petroleum systems to field evaluations and reservoir characterization.

EGI's geothermal research is focused on developing new technology for exploration, reservoir delineation, and production of resources in the Western United States, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

EGI's new environmental engineering group is dedicated to research addressing environmental concerns and problems.
