Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Cooperative Research Group on Mechanical 
Stratigraphy and Natural Deformation in the Permian Strata of Texas and 
New Mexico: Implications for Exploitation of the Permian Basin

    Notice is hereby given that, on April 18, 2017, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Southwest Research Institute--
Cooperative Research Group on Mechanical Stratigraphy and Natural 
Deformation in the Permian Strata of Texas and New Mexico: Implications 
for Exploitation of the Permian Basin (``Permian Basin'') has filed 
written notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the 
Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties 
to the venture and (2) the nature and objectives of the venture. The 
notifications were filed for the purpose of invoking the Act's 
provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual 
damages under specified circumstances.
    Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties 
to the venture are: Anadarko, The Woodlands, TX; EP Energy E&P Company, 
L.P., Houston, TX; and Shell Oil Company, Houston, TX. The general area 
of Permian Basin's planned activity will involve outcrop investigation 
of deformation and mechanical stratigraphy in Permian strata exposed in 
and around the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. The analysis will 
include characterizing the distribution, mechanisms, and orientations 
of small-scale deformation related to the Ancestral Rockies, Ouachita, 
Laramide, and Basin and Range tectonic events and the associated 
paleostress conditions. The investigation will continue into the 
subsurface, relating deformation to tectonic setting, structural 
position, and mechanical stratigraphy within productive and potentially 
productive portions of the Permian Basin.
