Funded Activity Summary

Application of field penetrometer data to offshore geotechnical design in deep water. Offshore oil and gas extraction is a $17 billion/year industry and a major component of GDP, but facing increasing challenges in Australia as exploration extends into water depths exceeding 1 km. In order to develop safe and economic facilities in these environments, solutions to significant technical challenges are required, ranging from new technology to assess the strength of seabed soils, to formulating response models for oil and gas pipelines and shallow foundations or anchoring systems. This project contributes to future exploitation of offshore hydrocarbon reserves while minimising impact on the marine environment; it brings direct benefits to our economy and helps maintain our world leadership in offshore geotechnical research.
