SUPRI-A is funded through a government and industry consortium. The U. S. Department of Energy provides funds through its Fossil Energy program while industry partners include both domestic and international oil companies. These companies take an active part in the yearly advisory committee meeting, usually held in April, and have restricted access to reports and publications. For information on joining the consortium contact Tony Kovscek.
