Funded Activity Summary

Engineering solutions for the next generation of offshore oil and gas infrastructure. Offshore extraction of oil and gas reserves is a key industry for Australia, annually contributing A$21 billion to the economy, and underpinning much of our prosperity. With reserves close to shore being exhausted and A$1 trillion of gas reserves (four times that already developed) known to be 'stranded' in deep and remote locations, the outcomes of the proposed research programme will help scientifically underpin the reliable design of the next generation of Australia's exploration and development infrastructure. It continues Australia's leadership in the field of offshore geotechnics and engineering, fostering tomorrow's engineering leaders and ensuring the future competitiveness of Australia's offshore oil and gas industry.
