The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Thermo- and pH-responsive Supramolecular Gelling Agents for Enhanced Oil and Natural Gas Recovery from Tight Formations

    SBC: INCENDIUM TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 20b

    Shale oil and natural gas, recovered mainly via hydraulic fracturing, has a significant role in meeting the U-S- energy demand in near future- Characteristics and properties of injected fluids used in hydraulic fracturing directly affect the amount of recovery- Since current injection fluid technologies result in low recovery factors, oil and gas industry is seeking new injection fluids to increas ...

  8. Permanent Magnet (PM) Induction Heater for Paraffin Abatement

    SBC: AUSTIN GEOTECH SERVICES INC            Topic: 20b

    One of the major maintenance headaches causing increased operational cost in the production of mature oil wells is the elimination of wax and paraffin buildup in the production tubing. The accumulation over time of paraffin compounds in "cold spots" in the tubing creates high pressures and flow constrictions that contribute to accelerated pump wear, and constrict the flow of fluids to the surface. ...
