Oil and gas is a key industry in Australia, contributing A$17 billion to the economy. However, with the large accessible reserves in shallower waters becoming exhausted, Australian oil and gas companies require new technologies to extend their capabilities. The research in this proposal addresses this concern, providing an extension of the operational depth range of mobile jack-up platforms from 120 to 200 m. This creates the opportunity to develop the significant number of Australia's smaller gas fields that are currently uneconomical to exploit. The proposed project will contribute to the future competitiveness of Australia's oil and gas industry and ensuring energy supply for the sustained growth of the Australian economy.

石油和天然气是澳大利亚的重要产业，为经济贡献了170亿澳元。然而，随着较浅沃茨的大型可开采储量逐渐枯竭，澳大利亚石油和天然气公司需要新技术来扩展其能力。本提案中的研究解决了这一问题，将移动的自升式平台的作业深度范围从120 m扩展到200 m。这为开发澳大利亚大量目前开采不经济的小型气田创造了机会。该项目将有助于提高澳大利亚石油和天然气行业的未来竞争力，并确保澳大利亚经济持续增长的能源供应。
